  @article{ , abstract = {The elongation period of cotton fiber development is crucial for ensuring cotton quality. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying fiber elongation remain unclear. This study reveals that SER02 _ A11 , which is preferentially expressed during the fiber elongation period, encodes serine protease inhibitors (serpins). A previously uncharacterized SNP 517th is localized in the gene's coding region between Gossypium barbadense and G. hirsutum , leading to the premature translation termination and low expression of GhSER02 in G. hirsutum . However, in G. barbadense , normal protein translation and high expression of GbSER02 are observed. Ectopic GbSER02 expression or site-directed GhSER02' mutagenesis (but not GhSER02 ) promotes trichome and root cell elongation in Arabidopsis , indicating that SNP 517th causes the dysfunction of GhSER02 . Overexpressing GbSER02 in G. hirsutum increases fiber length. GbSER02 interacts with the transcription factor GhVOZ1 (vascular one-zinc-finger protein) in the cytoplasm, alleviating the inhibitory effect of GhVOZ1 on GhGA3ox1 expression, thereby promoting gibberellin synthesis. Subsequently, the cell wall loosening-related genes GhXTH2 and GhEXPA1 are significantly upregulated whereas the flavonoid metabolism-related gene GhCHS1 is significantly downregulated, ultimately improving fiber length. Collectively, this study reveals the essential role of the GbSER02-GhVOZ1-GhGA3ox1 module in regulating fiber quality and provides novel insights into the mechanism of fiber development in cotton.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Hao Jia and Dongmei Zhang and Qishen Gu and Yanbin Li and Jing Li and Wannian Li and Zhengwen Sun and Huifeng Ke and Jun Yang and Liqiang Wu and Yan Zhang and Zhiying Ma and Xingfen Wang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202417578}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {35}, pages = {e17578}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Cancer patients have a higher risk of all types of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Cardiologists are encountering a growing number of cancer patients with CVDs, and an increasing number of cancer patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The mechanistic link between cancer and CVDs remains elusive. Here, the meta-analysis shows the increased incidence ratio of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in patients undergoing PCI with cancer compared with non-cancer. We experimentally demonstrated that cancer aggravated mitochondrial dysfunction and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in two models of lung cancer in mice. Plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from cancer mice exacerbated cardiac I/R injury in vivo and in vitro, while inhibition of tumor EVs secretion by lipid-coated polyacrylic acid/calcium phosphate nanoparticles delivered a neutral sphingomyelinase inhibitor (GW4869) showed the opposite results. Lung-specific miR-485-3p sponges mediated by Adeno-associated virus 6 suppress cardiac damage and mitochondrial dysfunction in CC10-KRAS G12D mice post-I/R. Mechanistically, PPARGC1A/PGC-1α is post-transcriptionally repressed by miR-485-3p in cardiomyocytes, leading to the inhibition of mitochondrial complex I subunits and ATP synthesis. Taken together, our findings reveal for the first time that cancer can aggravate cardiac injury and mitochondrial dysfunction by releasing miR-485-3p-enriched extracellular vesicles derived from cancer cells.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Zhongting Mei and Qian Liu and Guoxin Liu and Manjie Zhang and Jiaxin Fang and Xuting He and Xueqi He and Zhengwei Qin and Ronghua Liu and Chuang Liu and Hongyu Ji and Yuechao Dong and Ye Yuan and Baofeng Yang and Weijie Du}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202417493}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {35}, pages = {e17493}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Creation of well-curated databases tailored to specific structural motifs can underpin and drive materials discovery, as the properties of materials are governed by composition and structure. The role of such motifs in directing the intricate interplay between structure and properties is exemplified by intermetallic compounds with structures that contain kagome layers that exhibit a variety of exotic physical states. Two prevailing approaches have previously been applied to identify such materials: evaluation of structural topology or geometry assessment, however, both present limitations if deployed individually. We augment topological screening with geometrical filtering to allow versatile control over the identification of kagome layers. Applying this approach with minimal further constraints labels over 9000 kagome-containing intermetallics which are assigned to four structural classes, revealing connections between symmetry, composition, direct space structure, and flatband electronic structures in reciprocal space. A machine learning model is used to predict new element combinations that favour the formation of kagome layers. Several highly-ranked phase fields correspond to known kagome-containing materials that were absent from the training dataset, demonstrating that the workflow can identify chemistries affording kagome layers. This motivates the extension of the approach beyond kagome to other property-conferring motifs, such as honeycomb, square planar or triangular plane nets.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Nataliya L.

To maximize their efficacy, adjuvants and their combinations are investigated to prepare vaccines with whole tumor antigens. By comparing different nano/micro-vaccines, ≤ 400 nm and 2.5 µm, respectively, are identified as their optimal sizes. When used alone, the optimal cancer vaccine cures all or most tumor-bearing mice with melanoma, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and melanoma lung metastasis. The landscape of immune cells in the blood, splenocytes, and draining lymph nodes of vaccine-treated mice is systematically investigated using single-cell sequencing. The diversity of CD8 + T cell receptors (TCR), CD4 + TCR, and B cell receptors (BCR) in cured mice is higher than that in uncured mice. By comparing 21 samples, several biomarkers, including KLRG1, S100A4, S1PR5, IL2Ra, and IKZF2, were identified to distinguish responders and non-responders to immunotherapy. Moreover, S100A4, S1PR5 and KLRG1, are biomarkers of therapeutic efficacy in mouse cancer models and patients with cancer.

  @article{ , abstract = {Mounting evidence has indicated that immune signals originating from the brain's border tissues will exert a profound influence on brain parenchyma neural cells. However,  the structural component alterations and immune cell infiltration characteristics of choroid plexus (ChP) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain incompletely understood. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing and histological analysis, the accumulation of group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) in the ChP stroma post-TBI is identified. Intracerebroventricular adoptive transfer of ILC2 is further indicated to exhibit a tendency to colonize the ChP and significantly alleviate pathogenic immune infiltration during the acute phase of TBI, as well as maintain hippocampal integrity during the chronic phase. Sensory-motor function and memory impairments in TBI mice are also improved under ILC2 treatment. Mechanistically, ILC2 is induced by ChP fibroblasts derived IL33 and anchored to stroma fibroblasts via the VCAM-1/Integrin α4β7 pathway. Furthermore, single-nucleus RNA sequencing of the hippocampus reveals that ILC2-derived AREG promotes the initiation of neurogenesis by interacting with EGFR on early-stage neurogenic cells.

  @article{ , abstract = {Rotator cuff tears often require surgical reconstruction; however, outcomes remain suboptimal, primarily because of the challenges in fully restoring the tendon–bone interface (TBI). The normal fibrocartilaginous transition zone is often replaced by fibrous scar tissue, thereby increasing the risk of retears. A porous hyaluronic acid methacrylate hydrogel is developed to encapsulate adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). Gelatin microspheres served as porogens to create micropores within the hyaluronic acid methacrylate hydrogel (HMs), and hollow gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel microspheres are used to encapsulate BMP-2 (GMBs). In vitro experiments confirm substantial proliferation and homing of ADSCs within the porous hydrogel system. When the ADSCs-loaded composite hydrogel (HMs/MBs/ADSCs) is applied to a rat rotator cuff injury model, it effectively reconstructs the fibrocartilage transition zone and promotes TBI healing. Transcriptome sequencing is performed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying BMP-2-induced fibrocartilage reconstruction. Furthermore, integrated in vitro sequencing reveals that HMs/MBs/ADSCs modulated the tissue microenvironment to enhance tissue regeneration, primarily through BMP-2′s regulation of the paracrine effects of ADSCs.

  @article{ , abstract = {Leaf senescence significantly impacts both the yield and quality of non-heading Chinese cabbage (NHCC). Despite its importance, the molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of leaf senescence in NHCC remain poorly understood. Here, transcriptome changes are first profiled, and found that ethylene (ET) and salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathways are activated during leaf senescence. Further mining of ET, SA, and DNA methylation pathway genes identified that EIN3A and CMT2 are induced and repressed, respectively, during leaf senescence. A whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) analysis revealed a global reduction of DNA methylation during leaf senescence, with the most dramatic decline occurring in the 1 kb regions upstream of transcription start sites (TSS) and downstream of transcription end sites (TES). Knocking down of EIN3A and CMT2 via virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) demonstrated that EIN3A is crucial for ET- and age-triggered leaf senescence, while CMT2 plays an inhibitory role. It further showed that EIN3A directly represses the expression of CMT2 to release its “braking” role on senescence-associated genes ( SAGs ) expression.

This study investigated the potential of human bone-derived endothelial cells (b-ECs) in mediating bone regeneration, especially in conjunction with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bm-MSCs). It is demonstrated that b-ECs retain unique osteoinductive properties post-isolation, crucial for promoting bone formation in vivo. Utilizing ectopic and orthotopic xenograft models in immunodeficient mice, these findings revealed that the synergistic interaction of b-ECs and bm-MSCs induced rapid and substantial bone formation, highlighting the therapeutic potential of b-ECs in bone repair strategies. The distinct expression of KIT ligand (KITLG) in b-ECs emerged as a key factor in these processes. KITLG expression by b-ECs facilitated the recruitment of c-Kit+/CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells to the osteovascular niche, leading to robust osteogenic differentiation of bm-MSCs, a process regulated by Notch signaling. Moreover, inducing KITLG expression in non-bone-derived endothelial cells conferred similar osteoinductive capabilities.

Through bulk and single-cell transcriptomics and proteomics, we compared conventional and enhanced differentiation media, demonstrating that the enhanced media gave rise to unique progenitor-like cell populations, while simultaneously promoting differentiation into myocytes and contractile myotubes expressing a wide array of myogenic markers that more closely resemble bovine muscle cells in vivo.

How cells facilitate such adhesion remains unclear. Here, it is investigated how mammalian cells exposed to compression initiate unspecific and integrin-mediated adhesion. It is observed that with increasing compression, cells increase adhesion to collagen I or fibronectin and strengthen adhesion faster. Under low and medium compression, cells minimally increase unspecific adhesion to substrates that lack specific binding sites for cell surface receptors, such as integrins. However, under high compression, mammalian cells switch to a strong unspecific adhesion state, which significantly contributes to cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion. Thereby cells use the glycocalyx to directly facilitate strong unspecific adhesion and to enhance early integrin-mediated adhesion.

Thus, more effective combination therapies are needed. This study finds that cystine and cysteine levels in tumor tissues of lung cancer patients are significantly higher than adjacent non-tumor tissues. Cystine deficiency polarizes macrophages toward an M1 phenotype, secreting more TNF-α, CXCL9, and CXCL10. However, using a cystine-free diet marginally reduces the development of lung cancer in vivo. A cystine-free diet slightly reduces lung cancer progression in vivo. Further studies show that cystine deprivation or erastin-mediated transport inhibition increased PD-L1 expression in macrophages both in vitro and in vivo. Combining a cystine-free diet or IKE injection with PD-L1 antibody treatment significantly inhibited subcutaneous tumor growth in mice. Mechanistic studies indicat that cystine deficiency-induced GSH depletion activates NF-κB in macrophages by reducing its glutathionylation.

The results show that microglia are the main cell type producing extracellular traps (ETs) at 24 h at cerebral parenchyma after cerebral I/R. Additionally, oxygen glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R) could induce MiETs formation and increased level of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). Microglia switches toward glycolysis with enhanced SDH activity and upregulated expression of SDH subunit A (SDHA) during MiETosis.

Furthermore, DMM is found to alleviate neuronal injury after OGD/R exposure and neurological behavior disorders after cerebral I/R, and the effect is similar to MiETosis inhibitor BB-Cl amidine.

However, traditional low-frequency microwave absorption materials (MAMs) suffer from issues such as large thickness, heavy weight, difficult impedance matching, insufficient low-frequency microwave loss, and poor environmental stability, severely limiting use and development. In recent years, researchers construct composite systems combining various types of loss, coupled with component adjustments and structural design strategies, significantly improving the impedance matching and multiple loss synergy effects for low-frequency MAMs. Based on the above, this review briefly introduces the basic principle of microwave absorption and the influence factors of low-frequency microwave absorption performance, and systematically reviews the recent research progress of carbon-based composites, magnetics-based composites, polymer-based composites, ceramic-based composites, and multiphase hybrid composites. Additionally, the intrinsic relationship and mechanisms are discussed in detail between the micro-structure and macro-performance of different composites. Furthermore, the key scientific and technical bottleneck problems that need to be addressed in the design and preparation of low-frequency MAMs are identified.

  @article{ , abstract = {Coordinating transcription and replication via transcription factors (TFs) is a conserved mechanism in higher eukaryotes. The role of TFs in regulating these processes in cancers remains unclear. Here, it is shown that oncogenetic ETS transcription factor ETV4 controls DNA replication through both transcriptional and non-transcriptional mechanisms in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ETV4 localizes to specific DNA replication origins and interacts with the origin recognition complex subunits ORC1 and ORC6 during the G1/S phase, facilitating origin formation. Using quantitative in situ analysis of protein interactions at DNA replication forks (SIRF) assays, it is shown that ETV4 transiently localizes to replication forks in the S phase. It interacts with replicative helicase MCM2 N-terminal, histone H3, and histone-chaperone FACT and is involved in histone processing during replication. Additionally, ETV4 transcriptionally regulates key replisome genes MCM2, MCM4, MCM5, MCM10, and ORC1, influencing their expression and recruitment to chromatin. Due to its binding at the origin-promoter locus like the MCM4 gene, ETV4 overexpression increases R-loop formation, DNA damage, and cell death under external replication stress induced by topoisomerase I (TOP1) inhibitor.

Transcription factor FOXM1 plays an essential role in cardiovascular development. The present study explores its role in mitochondrial bioenergetics in postmitotic cardiomyocytes (CMs). FOXM1 is significantly upregulated in ischemic heart tissues from humans, mice, and pigs. CM-specific Foxm1 -knockout mice exhibit dilated cardiomyopathy features associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of Foxm1 -knockout mice reveal robust, specific downregulation of gene programs important for mitochondrial energetics and homeostasis. Analysis of proteome and ubiquitinome data reveal that FOXM1 deficiency in CMs promotes LKB1 ubiquitination and impairs the AMPK signaling and energy metabolism pathways. Bioinformatics analysis identifies that E3 ligase MKRN1 promotes the K48-linked ubiquitination of LKB1 on Lys146, which in turn, inhibits the AMPK signaling pathway and impairs energy homeostasis in mice with HF. CM-specific Mkrn1 knockout ameliorates cardiac dysfunction by rejuvenating the impaired mitochondrial bioenergetics induced by FOXM1 deficiency.

In situ Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations reveal that plasmonic excitation shifts the HB network toward a more flexible configuration, favoring the formation of three-coordinated hydrogen-bonded water (3HB·H 2 O) while suppressing cation-associated species (K + ·H 2 O). This transformation enhances the dehydrogenation process and stabilizes reaction intermediates, leading to a 28% increase in NH 3 oxidation kinetics.

Specifically, after annealing at 530 °C, the yield strength increases from 503 to 653 MPa, while maintaining plasticity of ≈60%. The comprehensive analysis reveals that this unexpected strengthening is attributed to the development of multi-scale chemical short-range orderings (SROs) during the annealing process.

  @article{ , abstract = {This work elucidates an important open question in the field of mechanically soft magnetorheological elastomers (MREs): how microstructural rearrangements during magnetic actuation modulate their viscoelastic behavior. Experimental assays are provided on mechanically confined and very soft MREs that, under magnetic actuation, show an order of magnitude increase in relaxation times compared to purely mechanical cases. It is demonstrated that such a modulation in the viscous response can be tuned by the amplitude and actuation rate of the magnetic stimuli, and is intrinsically linked to microstructural rearrangements of the magnetic particles. Motivated by these experimental observations, magnetic actuation protocols are conceived to enable mechanical responses in soft materials with force-memory. Specifically, due to the magnetically induced long-term viscous relaxation, one can induce magnetic-driven yielding by introducing material hardening during cycling loading. This mechanical memory of the MRE can be subsequently removed by releasing the magnetic stimuli for h, resetting the material performance and its microstructural state. These mechanisms are deeply understood by a combination of different experimental approaches and a new theoretical magneto-mechanical continuum model.

  @article{ , abstract = {Gold is an effective catalyst for low-temperature CO oxidation, yet its mechanism remains debated. Among the various proposed mechanisms, increasing attention has been given to a possible electrochemical pathway in recent studies. Here, experimental evidence is reported that CO oxidation at room temperature in electrolytes proceeds via coupled electrochemical CO oxidation and oxygen reduction half-reactions, i.e., the mixed-potential-driven mechanism. A model system is designed with deposited Au nanoparticles (NPs) and nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (NrGO) on carbon paper acting as spatially separated electrodes in a single electrolysis cell. After shorting the two electrodes, the reaction current and mixed potential of the overall CO oxidation are measured without any externally applied bias. Independent current–potential curves for each half-reaction are also obtained under identical experimental conditions. The intersection points of these curves, representing the predicted mixed potential and net current, showed good agreement with the values measured in the short-circuited system. These results provide clear evidence that CO oxidation in aqueous media proceeds via a mixed-potential-driven mechanism, analogous to corrosion. This finding provides strong support for the hypothesis that low-temperature CO oxidation over-supported Au catalysts in the presence of water vapor proceeds via a similar electrochemical pathway in gas-phase heterogeneous catalysis.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Mo Yan and Muhammad Asif and Ravi Singh and Kotaro Takeyasu and Junji Nakamura}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202505994}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {35}, pages = {e05994}, shortjournal = {Adv.

However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this maturation are not yet fully understood. In this study, YTHDC1 is identified as a key positive regulator of hepatocyte maturation and an essential factor in maintaining liver homeostasis. YTHDC1 expression increases in the liver after birth, and hepatocyte-specific deletion of Ythdc1 impairs hepatocyte maturation, leading to reduced liver weight, liver injury, inflammation, and fibrosis. These defects contribute to the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma in mice. YTHDC1 supports postnatal hepatocyte maturation and liver function by enhancing the expression of key transcription factors, FOXA1 and FOXA2, at the posttranscriptional level through m 6 A recognition. Restoring FOXA1 or FOXA2 expression mitigates the phenotypic defects observed in Ythdc1 -HKO mice.

  @article{ , abstract = {The conversion of white adipose tissue (WAT) to brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a promising strategy for obesity treatment. It is previously identified βFaar as a conserved long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) regulator of islet β-cell function in individuals with obesity, but its effect on WAT browning is not well understood. In this study, it is discovered that βFaar expression in adipose tissue markedly decreases with the progression of obesity in both mice and humans. βFaar in adipose tissue reduces lipid droplet (LD) size in WAT and promotes a browning phenotype in inguinal WAT (iWAT), leading to the amelioration of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. These effects can be attributed to crosstalk between βFaar and proteins within the master regulatory pathways of LD formation and WAT browning, including RAS oncogene family 18 (RAB18) and interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4). Specifically, βFaar inhibits LD swelling by binding to RAB18 and promoting IRF4 nuclear translocation, increases uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) transcription, and further induces iWAT browning by binding to karyopherin subunit alpha 6 (KPNA6). Together, these results demonstrate the critical roles of βFaar in regulating iWAT browning and preserving metabolic health; thus, βFaar may be a potential therapeutic target for management of obesity and related disorders.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yue Yang and Bin Huang and Baixue Sha and Danni Gao and Yimeng Qin and Ziyi Li and Xi Chen and Yinuo Jin and Yi Pan and Yanfeng Zhang and Yumeng Shen and Yu Liu and Liang Jin and Fangfang Zhang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202505545}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {35}, pages = {e05545}, shortjournal = {Adv.

However, the precise regulation of H 2 /CO molar ratio in syngas remains a challenge, especially through simple and feasible methodologies. In this work, a novel composite electrocatalyst, copper-indium/black phosphorus ( CuIn/BP ) is developed, using a simple one-step co-reduction method for efficient CO 2 RR. It is found for the first time that there is a linear relationship between BP content in CuIn/BP and the H 2 /CO molar ratio in syngas. Consequently, the H 2 /CO molar ratio in syngas can be precisely tailored by simply adjusting the BP content in CuIn/BP . A total faradaic efficiency (FE) of CO and H 2 reached ≈ 100% along with a current density of 135.2 mA cm −2 . Mechanistic studies suggest that the CuIn phase and Cu 3 P species are in situ generated in CuIn/BP , where the CuIn phases mainly contribute to CO generation, while the Cu 3 P species promote H 2 formation. The variation in BP content modulates the proportion of the CuIn phase and Cu 3 P species, leading to the variations in H 2 /CO molar ratios.

By constructing a Ru-SiO x interleaved Turing-patterned structure, the ratio of Si coordinated to Ru is tuned by well-designed selective etching.

Typically, the various rate constants are obtained by numerically fitting of the photoluminescence (PL) decay, but it is overlooked whether or not the solution of such a fit is unique. Using an analytical model, it is demonstrated that for typical TADF emitters only the sum of k S and k ISC , and the sum of k T and k rISC can be uniquely obtained from the transient PL decay and PL quantum yield (PLQY) experiments. Depending whether nonradiative losses stem from singlets or triplets, various combinations of k T and k rISC , k S and k ISC can be used to obtain the same transient PL decay, while keeping the PLQY constant. The only exception is the case of unity PLQY that allows for a direct determination of all relevant kinetic rates from just a single transient PL measurement. It is further shown that additional PL measurements in oxygen atmosphere with complete triplet quenching are redundant, since the results can be explicitly predicted from PL measurements in inert atmosphere. Using the TADF emitter CzDBA with a PLQY as high as 90% as a model system, it is demonstrated that by a combination of PL decay, PLQY, and OLED device modeling it is possible to quantify all the individual kinetic rates.

However, the practical application of traditional ceramic aerogels is constrained by their inherent mechanical brittleness. Herein, a strategy is proposed to customize mechanically tunable aerogels by armoring ceramic nanounits with pyrolytic carbon (PyC). The PyC encapsulating layers with various thicknesses are transformed into ductile tights or rigid armors, facilitating the mechanical customization of BN@PyC aerogel from superelasticity to rigidity across scales. Interestingly, the PyC armor imparts unique versatility to the aerogel, including flame retardancy, elastic response conductivity, and thermal conductivity. Furthermore, owing to the thermal stability of the PyC armor, the BN@PyC aerogel maintains its mechanical integrity even after high-temperature thermal treatment, and exhibits an unexpected resistance to butane torch ablation. Integrating mechanical stability, high-temperature resistance, and multifunctionality, BN@PyC aerogels offer new possibilities for scalable applications in extreme environments. This facile strategy of armoring brittle ceramic aerogels with PyC provides a novel reference for customizing the mechanical properties of multifunctional aerogels.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Meng Lan and Yu Pei and Kexin Huang and Yudong Zhou and Xiao Han and Qiangang Fu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202504649}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {35}, pages = {e04649}, shortjournal = {Adv.

This study presents an innovative ionogel-based rain energy harvester that overcomes these limitations. The key advancement lies in the stable polarized interface created by the ionogel, which enables rapid charging and high charge retention, leading to a significant instantaneous power within the first few raindrops and achieving an 8-fold increase in saturation performance over conventional design. The harvester only requires 25 droplets to reach saturation and maximum electrical output, achieving an impressive power density of 235.11 W m −2 and a conversion efficiency of 6.77%, being the highest recorded for ionogel and hydrogel-based droplet energy harvesters.

Mechanistically, KRAS mut /ERK1-elicited phosphorylation of ABHD17C promotes depalmitoylation and membrane-to–cytoplasm translocation of ALOX15B, facilitating proteasome-dependent degradation of ALOX15B via interaction with the E3 ligase complex CUL4/DDB1/DCAF10.

While possessing monotonic resistance-strain behavior is a fundamental requirement for any material used for strain sensing, polymer nanocomposites frequently exhibit nonmonotonic resistance responses under strain, which limits their application prospects. In this study, physical experiments and molecular dynamics simulations are performed to determine a feasible solution to overcome this limitation. The corresponding results demonstrate that regulating the initial inter-nanofiller junction geometry imparts complete control over the monotonic piezoresistive behavior of polymer nanocomposites. Mechanistically, monotonically increasing resistance responses under tension can be achieved by promoting active diffusion that causes van der Waals force-driven barrier crossing of nanofillers (resulting in direct contact between nanofillers, e.g., at elevated curing temperatures) during curing; thus, during deformation, nanofillers primarily move away from one another. Conversely, suppressing diffusion during curing causes barrier crossing of nanofillers, which results in resistance reduction, under deformation owing to stress-driven local rearrangement of polymer molecules in heterogeneous shear transformation zones. The mechanistic insights provided by this study can guide the design of next-generation, advanced strain-sensing materials in the future.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Ting Yui Wong and Kui Lin and Tao Yu and Fangxin Zou}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202504381}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {35}, pages = {e04381}, shortjournal = {Adv.

In this paper, a novel mathematical framework is proposed for practical identifiability analysis in dynamic models. Starting from a rigorous mathematical definition, it is proved that practical identifiability is equivalent to the invertibility of the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM). The relationship between practical identifiability and coordinate identifiability is further established, introducing an efficient metric that simplifies and accelerates identifiability assessment compared to traditional profile likelihood methods. To address non-identifiable parameters, new regularization terms are incorporated, enabling uncertainty quantification and improving model reliability.

  @article{ , abstract = {Food-grade lipid nanoparticles (FLNs) have been widely used as functional carriers of various nutrients and clinical drugs; however, the potential for FLNs to induce substantial biological effects is often overlooked. Here, it is found that FLNs are first delivered to the early endosomes and then preferentially fused with lipid droplets (LDs) after entering the cells through endocytosis. This process leads to a notable LDs accumulation, which in turn triggers autophagy via the AMPK-mTOR-ULK1 signaling pathway. The cascade ultimately promotes tumor cell growth and invasion. However, autophagy inhibition while FLNs treatment counteracts these effects and further causes mitochondria damage, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and excessive LDs accumulation, eventually leading to cell apoptosis. This indicates a potential anti-tumor strategy. The animal tests further demonstrate that intratumoral injection of FLNs together with an autophagy inhibitor (3-MA) effectively suppresses tumor angiogenesis, proliferation, and metastasis without harming normal cells in mice, confirming a promising and safe anti-tumor strategy of applying FLNs under autophagy inhibition conditions.

  @article{ , abstract = {Radiotherapy-radiodynamic therapy (RT-RDT) has emerged as a promising approach due to its remarkable anticancer efficacy. However, hypoxic tumor microenvironment and insufficient energy deposition severely reduce the radiotherapy outcomes. Herein, lonidamine (LND)-loaded Fe(III) metal-Pt(II) porphyrin framework (FPTM-LP) is designed for radiosensitization through hypoxia alleviation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) amplification. Specifically, the high-Z element Pt effectively absorbs X-ray photons to generate •OH for RT while transferring X-ray energy to porphyrin (TCPP), which stimulates the generation of 1 O 2 for RDT. Moreover, by the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation, the weak acidity and glutathione (GSH)-responsive release of LND achieves O 2 economization, which promotes the generation of ROS and stabilizes DNA damage. Intriguingly, Pt(II)TCPP exhibits the capability of O 2 concentration-dependent near infrared luminescence imaging-guided RT-RDT. Moreover, the decomposition of FPTM-LP under high concentration of GSH generates large amounts of Fe 2+ , leading to the augmented production of •OH via Fenton reactions. In brief, this work presents a radiosensitizer with a unique and efficient mechanism of self-monitoring hypoxia alleviation and increasing ROS levels for enhanced cancer RT-RDT. The radiosensitization potency of FPTM-LP is confirmed in tumor-bearing mice in vivo, proclaiming a new strategy for enhancing therapeutic efficacy and minimizing side effects.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Shiye Du and Qiang Wen and Ting Han and Jiongyu Ren and Mingyu Wang and Yunpeng Dai and Xiaoguang Ge and Lu Li and Junzhi Liu and Shi Gao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202503582}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {35}, pages = {e03582}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Although the precise etiology of this disease is still under debate, a Midichloria-like organism (MLO) is suspected as the triggering agent. RMS provokes characteristic skin lesions. Previous investigations pointed to a local immune response characterized by a B cell influx. To elaborate on these findings, here, this study extensively characterizes systemic and local B cell responses in RMS-affected fish. The local influx of IgM+ B cells to the skin lesions is confirmed, and a differentiation of these B cells to plasma-like cells is demonstrated. IgM repertoires suggested a polyclonal activation of local B cells and some trafficking between skin and head kidney. Finally, the fact that transcripts of the gene coding for MLO 16S rRNA are found in sorted skin IgM + B cells and non-IgM + skin leukocytes reveals the capacity of this intracellular bacterium to be internalized by B cells, where it may possibly directly interfere with intracellular pathways. The data significantly advances the knowledge on RMS and provides another example of a fish pathology in which fish B cells seem pivotal, possibly because of the specific ways in which teleost B cells intrinsically sense and respond to pathogens.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {J Germán Herranz-Jusdado and Samuel Vicente-Gil and Esther Morel and Pablo Jiménez-Barrios and Rocío Simón and Pedro Perdiguero and Diana Martín and Marta Vargas-Ramírez and Niels Lorenzen and Jacob Günther Schmidt and Carolina Tafalla}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202503047}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {35}, pages = {e03047}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Obesity is increasingly recognized as a negative prognostic factor for cancers, including osteosarcoma. However, the mechanisms linking obesity to chemoresistance in osteosarcoma remain unclear. This study found obesity is significantly associated with poor responses to cisplatin-based chemotherapy in osteosarcoma patients. In vitro, adipocyte-conditioned medium (Adi-CM) induced cisplatin resistance, while peritumoral adipocytes and diet-induced obesity (DIO) reduce the cisplatin efficacy in vivo. Mechanistically, Adi-CM enhanced DNA repair by the PARP1/ATM pathway activation. Proteomic analysis identified A1BG, a secreted protein upregulated in adipocytes from chemoresistant patients, as a key mediator of this effect. A1BG depletion in adipocytes restored cisplatin sensitivity, whereas recombinant A1BG enhanced resistance and promoted DNA repair. Further investigation revealed a direct interaction between A1BG and NAMPT, leading to the stabilization of NAMPT and an increased NAD + production. This enhanced PARP1 activity and subsequent DNA repair. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of NAMPT and PARP1 using FK886 and Olaparib, respectively, reversed Adi-CM-induced cisplatin resistance and restored cisplatin sensitivity in osteosarcoma cells, DIO mouse models, and patient-derived organoids.

Through analysis of ApoE −/- mouse models and single-cell multi-omics data, migrasome activity is mapped using Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) algorithms. Co-culture systems and anti-Cluster of differentiation 74 (CD74) blocking experiments are employed to investigate immune-metabolic reprogramming triggered by migrasome cargo signaling. Advanced imaging and functional studies demonstrated that the interaction between amyloid protein precursor (APP) ligands on endothelial cells and CD74 receptors on macrophages triggers endothelial cells to produce more migrasomes.

However, the mechanisms regulating ID1 ubiquitination in ESCC are not well understood. This study identifies TRIM21 as a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets ID1 for K11-linked ubiquitination at lysine 91. Unlike typical ubiquitination that marks proteins for degradation, TRIM21-mediated K11 ubiquitination does not affect ID1 stability. Instead, it disrupts the ID1-TCF12 interaction, releasing TCF12 to activate SLC31A1, a copper transporter. Elevated SLC31A1 expression increases intracellular copper, inducing cuproptosis and inhibiting ESCC cell proliferation and tumor growth. Functional assays show that overexpressing TRIM21 suppresses ESCC progression, while TRIM21 knockdown promotes growth. Clinically, low TRIM21 expression correlates with advanced disease stage and poorer patient survival rate, underscoring its prognostic value. Additionally, Sorafenib treatment upregulates TRIM21, enhancing ID1 ubiquitination, increasing SLC31A1 expression, and inducing cuproptosis. These findings uncover the TRIM21-ID1-TCF12-SLC31A1 axis as a critical pathway in ESCC progression, suggesting that targeting this axis with Sorafenib can offer a promising therapeutic strategy for inhibiting tumor growth and improving patient outcomes.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Lei Li and Yuqing Wang and Ruoxi Tian and Tianshuo Yang and Yaxin Liu and Baoen Shan and Lianmei Zhao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202502501}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {35}, pages = {e02501}, shortjournal = {Adv.

To dissect the PBel CGRP pathways, the terminals are then optogenetically silenced post-AIP and found the reversal of sleep disturbances in the following descending order of effectiveness: substantia innominata of the basal forebrain (SI-BF) > central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) > bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) > the lateral hypothalamus (LH). In SI-BF and CeA, a similar reversal of AIP-induced sleep loss occurred with pharmacological blocking of either CGRP or NMDA receptors.

• (2025). Role of tunneling nanotubes in arachidonic acid transfer and macrophage function reprogramming in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. ADVS, 12(35), e00148. (www)

  @article{ , abstract = {Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a crucial role in tumor progression within the tumor microenvironment (TME) through phenotypic plasticity and functional modulation. While tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) mediate intercellular communication, their role in shaping TAMs phenotypes and function remains unclear. This study explores how TNTs facilitate the transfer of tumor-derived materials, particularly fatty acids, to TAMs, affecting macrophage polarization and function. Single-cell RNA sequencing identified heterogeneous macrophage subpopulations in the TME. Enrichment analysis pinpointed key substances transferred via TNTs. Lipidomics and metabolomics analyzed the fatty acids involved. In vitro and in vivo experiments validated TNTs-mediated material transfer, and transcriptomic analysis revealed the associated signaling pathways. TNTs are the primary route for transferring tumor-derived fatty acids, notably arachidonic acid (AA), to macrophages. This transfer reprogrammed TAMs from anti-tumor CD5L + to pro-tumor TREM2 + phenotypes, increasing CCL18 secretion, reducing phagocytic activity, and impairing CD8 + T cell proliferation. Mechanistically, AA activated the PI3K-AKT pathway, driving TAMs polarization. These findings are confirmed in xenograft models, where TNTs-induced TAMs exhibited enhanced pro-tumor properties. TNTs-mediated transfer of tumor-derived AA reprograms TAMs via PI3K-AKT activation, promoting immune suppression and tumor progression, highlighting TNTs and PI3K-AKT as potential therapeutic targets in iCCA.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Meiru Chen and Shangyumeng Zhao and Xiaoli Xie and Jiaqi Wang and Miao Su and Lixian Zhang and Ruolin Cui and Dongqiang Zhao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202500148}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {35}, pages = {e00148}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Pulmonary vascular remodeling, which current therapeutic targets fail to alleviate disease severity, plays a key role in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Irisin is identified as a protective factor involved in regulating inflammation and oxidative stress, but its role in PAH remains unknown. To investigate, plasma irisin levels and its local pulmonary artery expression are measured in patients with PAH and mouse models. Irisin expression is significantly decreased in patients with PAH and PAH mouse models. Furthermore, overexpression and exogenous injection of irisin effectively alleviate hemodynamic and right-heart function in PAH mouse models, meanwhile, it also reverses proliferation and cell cycle progression of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). To illustrate the mechanism of irisin exerts on PAH, Enolase 1 is identified as a key irisin-interacting protein. Irisin suppresses proliferation of PDGF-induced PASMCs by promoting ubiquitination status of Enolase 1 via E3 ligase of down regulated protein 4 in neural precursor cell development. Co-immunoprecipitation and molecular docking analyses verifies the interaction and binding sites between irisin and its interactive proteins. Overall, these findings suggest that, irisin is a novel protective factor downregulated in PAH.

  @article{ , abstract = {Bacteria in changing environments rely on motility and sensory mechanisms to locate optimal conditions. This process depends on specialized chemoreceptors to sense environmental stimuli. Exceptionally high numbers of chemoreceptor genes are present in magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), which combine magnetic alignment via intracellular magnetic nanoparticles (magnetosomes) and oxygen sensing for a unique navigation strategy toward low-oxygen zones, called magneto-aerotaxis. However, chemoreceptors for aerotaxis in MTB have not been experimentally identified. This study examines chemoreceptors in the model MTB Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense . Gene deletion analysis shows that M. gryphiswaldens e relies on a complex and partly redundant set of chemoreceptors to sense oxygen. Within this diverse repertoire of chemoreceptors, a receptor formed by two interacting proteins is identified that plays a key role in aerotaxis. Interaction assays and microscopy confirm that both proteins interact within polar-lateral regions in the cell. Moreover, genetic, biochemical, and motility experiments demonstrate that the chemoreceptor complex promotes a cellular response away from oxygen via the redox cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), independent of magnetic fields.

Deficiency of Rictor in macrophages exacerbates histological injury and shortens the survival of ABMR allografts by promoting macrophage M1 polarization. Additionally, loss of Rictor in primary bone marrow-derived macrophages facilitates NLRP3 inflammasome activation through activating NF-κB. Mechanistically, Rictor upregulates E3 ubiquitin ligase SOCS1 to enhance K48-linked ubiquitination of p65, thereby suppressing macrophage M1 polarization.

High levels of TAMs contribute to tumor progression and antiangiogenic therapy resistance. Therefore, intensive study of the regulatory mechanisms of TAMs recruitment during tumor development is important for the discovery of new antitumor and antiangiogenic therapeutic strategies. Here, we found that in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), ENH levels positively correlated with microvessel density and TAMs infiltration. Further exploration revealed that ENH promoted LUAD angiogenesis and growth by stimulating TAMs recruitment and M2 polarization. Mechanistically, ENH in LUAD induced YAP nuclear aggregation to promote CCL5 transcription, thereby increasing monocyte chemotaxis and ultimately increasing TAMs infiltration and M2 polarization. Besides, we found that ENH interacted with YAP through LIM domains, which significantly triggered the formation of YAP-KPNA2 complexes. Consequently, YAP is imported into the nucleus by KPNA2 and then promoted CCL5 transcription. Notably, ENH knockdown also significantly increased the chemosensitivity. Together, ENH functions in LUAD cells to mediate macrophage infiltration and M2 polarization, which in turn promotes tumor angiogenesis and growth, and targeting ENH offers a promising target for antiangiogenic therapy through immune modulation.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yueli Shi and Zhiyong Xu and Huan Wang and Bufu Tang and Nueraili Maihemuti and Xinyuan Jiang and Xiuying Chen and Mingshu Xiao and Sujing Jiang and Yun Xu and Peng Xiao and Jiangnan Zhao and Kaiyue Zhang and Mengshu Li and Kai Wang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202416476}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {34}, pages = {e16476}, shortjournal = {Adv.

By identifying the LDH-H3K18La-Nur77 axis, new insights into the metabolic regulation of immune responses in SCLC are offered. Multi-omics analysis, including metabolomics and TCR sequencing, is used to compare serum samples and immune cell profiles from SCLC patients. Data from Shanzhong cohort (n = 222), along with a validation cohort from the IMpower133 study (n = 264), demonstrates that LDH levels are associated with poorer outcomes following immunotherapy. ChIP-qPCR and luciferase reporter assays reveal that lactate-induced histone lactylation at H3K18La induces transcriptional activation of Nur77 in naïve CD8 + T cells, leading to tonic TCR signaling, which impairs antigen recognition and prevents effective anti-tumor activity. In preclinical SCLC models, lactate inhibition reduces Nur77 expression, restores T cell function, and enhances the efficacy of PD-1 blockade, leading to a decreased tumor burden and improved survival.

In turn, extra glutamine increases collagen synthesis in fibroblasts. More significantly, serum CTSK levels positively correlated with glutamine levels and poor prognosis in patients with PF.

  @article{ , abstract = {Porcine extended potential stem cells (pEPSCs), which exhibit both self-renewal and pluripotency, are promising for application in both agricultural biotechnology and regenerative medicine. However, the molecular mechanisms governing these two interconnected properties remain elusive. Here, two types of CRISPR-Cas9 screenings are conducted in pEPSCs. This fitness screening identified several genes essential for cell viability, including PRMT1 , MYBL2 , and NASP . Concurrently, FACS-based screenings revealed genes crucial for pluripotency, such as SOX2 , ZFP42 , and FOXH1 . Notably, it is demonstrated that FOXH1 is required for maintaining pluripotency in pEPSCs, which complements the understanding of its role in mesendoderm specification. pEPSCs lacking FOXH1 exhibited a flatter and more dispersed clonal morphology, accompanied by downregulation of pluripotency genes and upregulation of lineage-specific genes.

  @article{ , abstract = {Most patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) may initially experience high-frequency hearing loss linked to greater vulnerability of outer hair cells (OHCs) in the cochlear basal turn. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this susceptibility in the high-frequency region remains unclear. Here, NOX2 is first identified as a differentially expressed gene related to oxidative damage in the apical and basal turns through single-cell RNA sequencing. In mouse cochleae damaged by neomycin and noise, Nox2-positive OHCs increase progressively from the apex to base, indicating that NOX2 expression clearly differed significantly between the apical and basal OHCs. In NOX2 knockout mice, OHC damage caused by neomycin and noise exposure is significantly reduced. Furthermore, knocking out NOX2 increases the expression of Nrf2 in the cytoplasm and Nrf2 nuclear translocation in OHCs. In addition, Nrf2 inhibitors counteract the protective effect of NOX2 knockout against neomycin. Finally, when Nox2 is used as the target, ginsenoside Rg1 is identified as a compound with protective effects against neomycin-induced hearing loss.

This article reports on operando 2D scanning small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS) and ex situ 3D SAXS tomography of hard carbon electrodes during the sodiation process. Structural changes are monitored with spatial and temporal resolution during the electrochemical process and shows that sodiation through micropore filling is the more dominating mechanism in the later stages of sodiation, i.e. in the plateau region of the voltage profile, while intercalation occurs continuously. Spatial inhomogeneities are resolved over the electrode and reveal an increased level of inhomogeneity at higher degree of sodiation with regions of different degrees of micropore filling. Resolving the processes spatially shows that plating starts at the interface between the electrode and the current collector where also a high degree of micropore filling and formation of pseudo-metallic sodium is found. The work demonstrates how SWAXS imaging can contribute to understanding the sodiation of hard carbon anodes, not only by spatially resolved analysis, but as a method to decouple contributions from different components in a cell, enabling more accurate scattering analysis in in situ environments.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Martina Olsson and Antoine Klein and Nataliia Mozhzhukhina and Shizhao Xiong and Christian Appel and Mads Carlsen and Leonard Nielsen and Linnea Rensmo and Marianne Liebi and Aleksandar Matic}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202508635}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {34}, pages = {e08635}, shortjournal = {Adv.

However, it has also demonstrated low cycle and poor rate performances. Researchers have hitherto identified multiple LNMO failure and degradation mechanisms, including the Jahn-Teller effect, Transition Metal (TM) dissolution, electrolyte decomposition, and Oxygen Vacancies (OVs). The Jahn-Teller effect causes structural material degradation, while TM dissolution could lead to the loss of reactive species and interfacial side reactions.

While the endocrine system is crucial in modulating wound repair, the critical hormone receptors orchestrating tissue-layer-specific responses are unidentified. Here, bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and in vivo/in vitro analyses in mouse models of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, as well as wound and skin organoid models, are employed to identify the thyroid hormone receptor Thra as a key regulator of phase-coupled regeneration through two distinct yet coordinated mechanisms. In the initial phase, epidermal Thra activates glutathione metabolism via Gamma-Glutamylcyclotransferase (GGCT), driving keratin filament assembly to accelerate reepithelialization. In the subsequent phase, dermal Thra mediates the Serum Amyloid A3 (SAA3)-Fibronectin 1 (FN1) interaction, establishing angiogenic niches essential for matrix maturation. Using the self-assembled epidermis-dermis dynamic skin organoid model, Thra's role in simulating the wound healing process is further confirmed.

Point mutagenesis, a powerful approach for gradient-tuning protein function, facilitates the generation of diverse plant phenotypes to meet the demands of complex environments and consumer preferences. Here, a series of plant base editors is engineered by fusing three optimized TadA8e variants, TadA9, TadA-LM, and TadA-dual, with a PAM-flexible SpRY nickase (SpRYn, with 5′-NNN PAM recognition). These editors enable A-to-G, C-to-T, and dual-base (simultaneous A-to-G and C-to-T) conversions within a highly condensed active window (1–3 nucleotides). Performance evaluations reveal that the TadDBE (TadA Dual-Base Editor) achieves the most robust outcomes, delivering dual-base editing efficiencies ranging from 2.3% to 61.4%, while maintaining minimal off-target activity. Utilizing TadDBE, targeted point mutagenesis is performed on OsBadh2 , a gene encoding betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase that plays a critical role in the biosynthesis of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP), a key aromatic compound. This approach yields rice lines exhibiting gradient-tuned aromatic profiles and optimized levels of 2-AP and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

  @article{ , abstract = {Pulmonary fibrosis resulting from recurrent lung inflammation due to pathogen infection may lead to serious problems and death. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), consisting of DNAs and proteins released by neutrophils in response to infection, are major pathogenesis factors for pathogen-associated pulmonary fibrosis. By mimicking nucleic acid hydrolase, polymeric artificial DNases bearing imidazole units (PEG-PIm) are developed to degrade the DNAs and thus deconstruct NETs, inhibiting pulmonary fibrosis. By tailoring the PIm segments with varied imidazole units, the polymer hydrolase with a defined number of imidazole units outperforms other samples in the cleavage of DNAs and inhibits the transition of pulmonary fibroblasts to myofibroblasts. This polymer digests the DNAs complexed with cationic peptides, unlike natural DNase I. By aerosol inhalation, it reduces NET infiltration in lungs and significantly alleviates inflammatory cytokines and fibrosis. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the optimized polymer may expose more effective imidazole units to the DNA backbones and thus enhance the affinity and hydrolysis of phosphodiester linkages. The function is also confirmed by systematic administration of PEG-PIm to rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, a strategy is provided for treating pulmonary fibrosis that can be applied in a pandemic to reduce high mortality because of pathogen infection.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yibo Du and Chenxu Zhu and Ruifeng Wang and Shi Chen and Chuang Li and Defang OuYang and Lixin Liu and Yongming Chen}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202505357}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {34}, pages = {e05357}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Then, the contributions of eCBs in aBLA–vHPC projections to anxiety avoidance are investigated by employing three newly developed synapse- and circuit-specific eCB-targeted viral strategies to achieve real-time monitoring of eCB release, in vivo optogenetic activation of CB1 receptors, and CRISPR-Cas9 gene knockdown of eCB biosynthesis enzymes. Prominent eCB release are surprisingly found at aBLA–vHPC glutamatergic synapses during anxiety avoidance, suggesting inhibitory effects of increased eCBs in aBLA–vHPC projections on anxiety avoidance. This idea is further supported by findings that specific activation of CB1 receptors at aBLA–vHPC synapses inhibit presynaptic glutamate release and reduce anxiety avoidance. In contrast, specific knockdown of eCB biosynthesis enzymes at aBLA–vHPC synapses reduce eCB levels at aBLA–vHPC glutamatergic synapses and increase anxiety avoidance.

Lysosomes are discovered to accumulate in specific regions within multi-stem cell aggregates and regulate cell aggregate formation based on iron control, which is occurred through hypoxic signaling-driven lysosomal redistribution mediated by extracellular vesicles. These vesicles exhibit lysosomal features and possess iron-regulating properties, which rescue lysosomal defects to restore iron homeostasis and mitigate ferroptosis in recipient endothelial cells against the irradiation challenge.

In this study, a novel strategy is presented combining irinotecan-loaded silicasomes with spleen-targeting lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) carrying KRAS G12D mRNA and the toll-like receptor 7/8 (TLR7/8) agonist 3M-052.

Mechanistically, the key molecular steps are identified by which antibody-bound ICG generates excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) within lysosomes after internalization, leading to lysosomal membrane damage and the cytosolic release of cathepsin S (CTSS), which cleaves gasdermin D (GSDMD), IL-18, and IL-1β independently of caspase-1, and thereby induces pyroptosis, while other cathepsin family members fail to cleave GSDMD.

  @article{ , abstract = {The development of bladder cancer is a complex, multistep process influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, but its exact etiology remains unclear. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota dysregulation can impact the initiation and progression of cancers, including colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer. This study observes that the beneficial gut bacterium Parabacteroides distasonis ( P. distasonis ) is significantly decreased in bladder cancer patients, and its low abundance is strongly associated with poor prognosis. P. distasonis is a next-generation probiotic which plays a vital role in human health. Furthermore, this work finds that P. distasonis culture medium inhibits metastasis and proliferation of bladder cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. This work identifies that indole-3-acetic acid (3-IAA) produced by P. distasonis exerting similar tumor-suppressive effects. Mechanistically, 3-IAA activates the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), which in turn downregulates fatty acid synthase (FASN) transcription in bladder cancer cells. Notably, the reduction of FASN expression decreases the ratio of MUFAs to PUFAs, thereby increasing ferroptosis sensitivity in bladder cancer cells. Collectively, this study demonstrates that P. distasonis -derived 3-IAA can inhibit bladder cancer metastasis and proliferation, highlighting the AhR-FASN axis as a promising therapeutic target to inhibit bladder cancer progression.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Weijia Li and Wentai Shangguan and Wenxue Huang and Jie Zhao and Yuexuan Zhu and Ming Xie and Yao Yu and Qishen Yang and Jun Zheng and Lin Yang and Qi Sun and Leqian Li and Xinhang Shi and Yongyuan Xiao and Hai Huang and Bisheng Cheng and Peng Wu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202504688}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {34}, pages = {e04688}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Although the intestinal clock (the circadian timing system in the gastrointestinal tract) is known to direct a wide variety of diurnal nutrients and metabolites, its role in the functioning of extra-intestinal tissues such as the brain remains elusive. Here the role of the intestinal clock in shaping cognitive function is investigated. It is found that Bmal1 -iKO mice (mice with Bmal1 [ Brain and muscle Arnt-like protein 1 ] specifically knocked out in the intestine, a mouse line deficient in intestinal clock function) show a defect in cognitive memory irrespective of the time-of-day. Bmal1 -iKO-associated cognitive decline is attributed to impaired adenosine signaling and compromised long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus. Adenosine signaling promotes LTP via enhancing BDNF expression and inhibiting synapse loss. Furthermore, the impairment in adenosine signaling is accounted for by the reductions in intestinal absorption of and hippocampal level of adenosine but not by a change in adenosine receptors. Consistently, adenosine supplementation rescues cognitive deficits associated with the malfunction of the intestinal clock. Moreover, BMAL1 regulates the expression of ADK (adenosine kinase, a primary enzyme for adenosine clearance) in the small intestine and thus promotes intestinal adenosine absorption through REV-ERBα which binds directly to Adk P2 promoter to inhibit its transcription.

The hollow fibers show mechanochromic ability in the full visible spectrum, a large wavelength blueshift of 2.25 nm·% −1 under low strain.

The self-assembly of monophenols, primarily driven by π–π stacking interactions, is shown to significantly influence their rejection rates, with larger, more numerous self-assemblies experiencing higher rejection. Furthermore, a clear relationship between monophenol structures and self-assembly strength is established, revealing that the number and Hydrogen (H)-bonding capacity of substituents on the aromatic ring dictate the propensity for self-assembly. This insight enables the development of a predictive model for monophenol self-assembly, which is validated through NF experiments using binary mixtures, confirming that predictable differences in self-assembly behavior can be leveraged for selective separation.

  @article{ , abstract = {Cancer cell-intrinsic features (e.g., genetic aberrations and dysregulation of signaling pathways) play pivotal roles in orchestrating the composition and functional state of the immune landscape, which in turn impact tumor progression and response to immunotherapy. Here, it is discovered that dysregulation of cancer cell-intrinsic SET and MYND domain-containing protein 3 (SMYD3) leads to the orchestration of an immunosuppressive microenvironment and the impairment of responses to PD-1 blockade by reprogramming the infiltration of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). SMYD3 cooperates with Sp1 to transcriptionally promote sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) expression by modifying H3-K4 di-/trimethylation and consequently activating the transcription of CD47. CD47, a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity, acts as the downstream effector molecule of the SMYD3 signal to promote the infiltration of T helper 2 (Th2) cells, protecting renal cancer cells from immune attack.

  @article{ , abstract = {The essential cytoplasmic RNA sensor Melanoma Differentiation-Associated protein 5 (MDA5) initiates type I interferons (IFNs) signaling and subsequent immune responses. However, aberrant activation of MDA5 by viral infections or gain-of-function mutations leads to severe autoimmune diseases, for most of which effective treatment is limited. Here, it is shown that inactivation of ubiquitin-specific protease 8 (USP8/UBPy) degrades the MDA5 protein, suppressing antiviral signaling and autoimmunity. It is found that viral infection modulates the AKT-dependent phosphorylation of USP8 at serine 718, which not only promotes the activation of USP8 but also enhances the association between USP8 and MDA5 and the consequent deubiquitination and stabilization of MDA5. Inactivation of USP8 specifically degrades the MDA5 protein regardless of the mutation pattern.

By imposing OS damage on various kinds of ovarian cells including granulosa cells, OS can result in ovarian hypofunction and eventually lead to female infertility.

Pharmacological inhibition of HK2 with lonidamine in human corneal epithelial cells reduces herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) replication while preserving cell viability. In a murine model of HSK, topical lonidamine restored respiratory-chain activity, lowered viral load, and accelerated corneal re-epithelialization; its early therapeutic efficacy surpassed that of ganciclovir, and combination therapy conferred additive benefit. These findings identify HK2-driven glycolytic reprogramming as a pathogenic hallmark of HSK and demonstrate that metabolic targeting concurrently restricts viral propagation and promotes tissue regeneration.

However, the mechanical interplay between phase transitions and dimension transitions, in particular wetting, remains elusive, despite being critical for understanding the onset of metastatic dissemination. This study shows that unjamming, mediated by the RAB5A GTPase, alters carcinoma spheroid fluidity, rigidity, and rewires adhesion mechanics to drive supracellular active wetting as a new mode of tumor expansion. Spheroid fluidification enhances the selective expression of integrin subunits and increases focal adhesion dynamics, inducing a fluid-like spreading behavior on specific matrix ligands. Notably, nanoscale regulation of integrin clustering can select for distinct phase transitions at the collective scale upon wetting. In this framework, fluidized spheroids polarize into cohesive “supracells”, and maintain a stiff peripheral actin bundle as measured by nanomechanical mapping. Furthermore, a combination of Brillouin microscopy and 2.5D traction force analysis reveals a mechanical switch within the spheroid core, characterized by significant cell softening and a reduction in compressive forces exerted on the substrate, thereby mimicking the wetting of a liquid droplet.

This study identifies LncDARS-AS1 as a key regulator of metastasis via modulation of ATP1A1, the catalytic subunit of Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase (NKA). Transcriptomic analyses, validated by qPCR in 217 osteosarcoma RNA samples, reveal that LncDARS-AS1 is significantly upregulated in metastatic lesions and associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Functional assays confirm that silencing LncDARS-AS1 suppresses osteosarcoma proliferation and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, LncDARS-AS1 directly binds ATP1A1, preventing its interaction with the UBQLN4 and subsequent proteasomal degradation, thereby enhancing NKA activity. Protein-RNA interactions were validated using ChIRP, mass spectrometry, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations. Functional NKA activity was assessed using ion-sensitive fluorescent indicators and enzymatic assays. Additionally, digoxin, a cardiac glycoside targeting NKA, effectively inhibited tumour growth and metastasis at clinically safe concentrations.

  @article{ , abstract = {No effective treatments are currently available for central nervous system neurotrauma although recent advances in electrical stimulation suggest some promise in neural tissue repair.

Electroconductive 2D Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets are synthesized from MAX-phase powder, demonstrating excellent biocompatibility with neurons, astrocytes and microglia. To achieve spatially-controlled distribution of these MXenes, melt-electrowriting is used to 3D-print highly-organized PCL micro-meshes with varying fiber spacings (low-, medium-, and high-density), which are functionalized with MXenes to provide highly-tunable electroconductive properties (0.081 ± 0.053-18.87 ± 2.94 S/m). Embedding these electroconductive micro-meshes within a neurotrophic, immunomodulatory hyaluronic acid-based extracellular matrix (ECM) produced a soft, growth-supportive MXene-ECM composite scaffold. Electrical stimulation of neurons seeded on these scaffolds promoted neurite outgrowth, influenced by fiber spacing in the micro-mesh. In a multicellular model of cell behavior, neurospheres stimulated for 7 days on high-density MXene-ECM scaffolds exhibited significantly increased axonal extension and neuronal differentiation, compared to low-density scaffolds and MXene-free controls.

However, individual differences and unsustainable responses limit the clinical application of c-Mpl agonists. The cell membrane distribution of c-Mpl is crucial for the cell response to c-Mpl agonists. In the present study, this is observed that the distribution of c-Mpl on the megakaryocyte membrane is significantly reduced in ITP patients. The reduction is more severe in refractory patients. Then, this is verified that the membrane trafficking of c-Mpl is mediated by the Myosin-9/Rab6A complex, and demonstrates that the stability of this complex depends on Rab6A-GTPase.

However, the underlying immune mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the immune and cellular responses to FLASH-RT versus conventional dose rate (CONV) RT during the early phase of RILI. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), a dynamic landscape of the lung microenvironment is pictured during RILI within one-week post-irradiation. The analysis reveals that FLASH-RT induces a more immediate but transient cellular response, while CONV-RT causes sustained inflammation. FLASH irradiation significantly reduces neutrophil infiltration compared to CONV irradiation, particularly within the pro-inflammatory Ccrl2 + subset. FLASH irradiation also triggers stronger activation of CD4 + CD40L + Th cells, which are critical for regulating immune responses and balancing inflammation. Moreover, FLASH irradiation attenuates pro-inflammatory activation and intercellular signaling of Mefv⁺ monocytes, thereby restraining excessive macrophage-driven inflammation. Additionally, FLASH irradiation enhances TGF-β signaling and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in alveolar type 1 (AT1) cells, promoting tissue repair. These findings highlight FLASH-RT's superior immune modulation and reparative potential, providing valuable insights into its clinical application for minimizing radiation damage and enhancing lung recovery.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Hao Lu and Menghua Li and Cheng Quan and Caihui Li and Dawei Li and Zhihui Li and Jing Xu and Lihui Zhang and Qixiang Liu and Guofu Dong and Changzhen Wang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202501797}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {34}, pages = {e01797}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Allergic asthma is a significant global health issue characterized by chronic airway inflammation. Current treatments only alleviate symptoms but fail to cure the disease due to its complex pathology. Lipid mediators from arachidonate metabolism are pivotal in immune regulation in asthma. Previously, coactosin-like protein (CLP) is identified as a regulator of leukotriene production in vitro. However, its role in asthma is unclear. In this study, it is found that CLP-deficient ( Cotl1 −/− ) mice challenged with house dust mite (HDM) exhibits exacerbated airway inflammation, macrophage polarization, and type 2 immune responses. CLP deficiency increased prostaglandin D 2 (PGD 2 ) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and alveolar macrophages (AMs), activating the PGD 2 receptor chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2) on immune cells. Notably, HDM exposure reduced pulmonary CLP levels in wild-type (WT) mice, and overexpression of CLP in Cotl1 −/− macrophages decreased HDM-induced PGD 2 in BAL and alleviated inflammation. Cotl1 −/− AMs exacerbated HDM-induced airway inflammation compared to WT AMs, and this effect is dependent on CRTH2 signaling. These findings reveal that CLP modulates macrophage polarization and suppresses the PGD 2 -CRTH2 pathway to alleviate airway inflammation, highlighting CLP as a promising therapeutic target for asthma.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Li-Long Pan and Zhengnan Ren and Binbin Li and Wenjie Liang and Yang Luo and Qin Yang and He Liu and Xiaoliang Dong and Haizhi Tian and Huimin Zou and Bengt Samuelsson and Olof Rådmark and Jia Sun}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202501673}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {34}, pages = {e01673}, shortjournal = {Adv.

The underlying mechanisms are complex, involving alterations in intercellular communication and chronic inflammation. This study investigates the role of indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) in aging-related myocardial fibrosis and its regulatory effects on autophagy through palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1). Here, plasma levels of IPA, a tryptophan-derived metabolite, are found to be reduced in older patients with heart failure, and this reduction is associated with deteriorating cardiac function. Notably, IPA supplementation significantly attenuated aging-related myocardial fibrosis. PPT1, a lysosomal enzyme involved in autophagy, is upregulated in macrophages during aging. IPA reversed aging-induced increase in PPT1 expression. Using PPT1 flox/flox Lyz2-cre mice, it is demonstrated that macrophage-specific deletion of PPT1 significantly reduced cardiac inflammation and myocardial fibrosis in aged mice. Furthermore, PPT1 silencing in macrophages reduced the expression of myocardial fibrosis markers in vitro. Mechanistically, IPA regulated PPT1 expression to modulate the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway, thereby restoring autophagic activity in senescent macrophages and suppressing both inflammation and aging-related myocardial fibrosis.

  @article{ , abstract = {Rhizosheath formation is facilitated by root hair length, root exudates, the soil microbes, which collectively enhance plant resistance to drought. This process partly results from the complex interaction between root exudates and microbes, a relationship that remains poorly understood. The roles of root exudates and microbes in rhizosheath formation in rice under soil drying (SD) conditions are investigated. In tetraploid rice, rhizosheath formation under SD is approximately 70% greater than in diploid rice. Inoculation of diploid rice with the rhizosheath soil microbiota from tetraploid rice significantly enhanced rhizosheath formation under SD. The bacterial genus Pseudomonas is identified as the key taxon promoting rhizosheath formation in tetraploid rice under SD. Tetraploid rice exhibits significantly higher root flavonoid concentration than diploid rice under SD. Overexpression of the chalcone synthase gene ( OsCHS1 ), a key gene involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, led to a significant increase in the abundance of Pseudomonadaceae in diploid rice. Pseudomonas nitroreducens , isolated from the rhizosheath of tetraploid rice, demonstrates chemotactic attraction to flavonoids, but this behavior is not observed in histidine kinase mutant Δ cheA . Diploid and tetraploid rice inoculated with P. nitroreducens and IAA biosynthesis complemented strain Δ iaaM -c formed larger rhizosheath under SD than those inoculated with its IAA biosynthesis mutant Δ iaaM .

  @article{ , abstract = {Inflammation is a hallmark of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) characterized by immune cell infiltration and cytokine secretion. Stage-specific transcriptomic analyses of IVDD via single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) have primarily focused on nucleus pulposus cell phenotypes but not immune subpopulations. In other disease contexts, integrating genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with scRNA-seq data has provided insights on pathomechanisms in relation to specific cellular subpopulations via single-cell disease relevance scores (scDRS). However, such an approach remains to be applied to IVDD. Here, the stage- specific analysis of IVDD in relation to Pfirrmann grading revealed a key transition in immune cells from a preponderance of LCN2 high myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) during early degeneration to a surge of proinflammatory IL1B+ macrophages in advanced IVDD. scDRS implicated IL1B+ M1-like macrophages as a GWAS risk-enriched subpopulation associated with disease, while functional validation indicated an immunomodulatory effect of LCN2 high MDSCs via ANXA1-mediated inflammation suppression. Accordingly, LCN2 knockout mice exhibit accelerated IVDD, whereas recombinant LCN2 promoted macrophage polarization in vitro to the reparative phenotype by enhancing ANXA1 / Arginase-1 expression and countering LPS/IFN-γ-induced pro-inflammatory phenotype.

  @article{ , abstract = {Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most lethal subtype of breast cancer due to its aggressive clinical features and the lack of effective targeted therapeutics. Mitochondrial metabolism is intimately linked to TNBC progression and therapeutic resistance and is an attractive therapeutic target for TNBC. Here, it is first reported that human transmembrane protein 65 (TMEM65), a poorly characterized mitochondrial inner-membrane protein-encoding gene in human cancer, acts as a novel oncogene in TNBC to promote tumor growth, metastasis, and cisplatin resistance both in vivo and in vitro. Transcription factor MYC and DNA demethylase ten-eleven translocation 3 (TET3) coordinately upregulate TMEM65 in TNBC, and its upregulation is associated with poor patient survival. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition or knockdown of MYC and TET3 attenuates TMEM65-driven TNBC progression. Mechanistic investigations reveal that TMEM65 enhances mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and its byproduct reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Increased ROS induces the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α), which in turn transcriptionally activates serpin family B member 3 (SERPINB3) to enhance TNBC stemness, thus leading to TNBC progression and cisplatin resistance.

  @article{ , abstract = {High-brilliance circularly polarized γ-photon beams are of great significance for a wide range of applications. However, their generation through nonlinear Compton scattering must require a high-density longitudinally-spin-polarized electron beam and consequently is still a great challenge. Here, a novel method is proposed to generate such γ-photon beams via the vacuum dichroism (VD)-assisted vacuum birefringence (VB) effect, only utilizing a well-established unpolarized electron beam. A linearly polarized laser pulse is splitted into two subpulses with the first one colliding with a dense unpolarized electron beam to generate a linearly polarized γ-photon beam (via nonlinear Compton scattering), which then further collides with the second subpulse and is transformed into a circularly polarized one via the VB effect. It is found that by manipulating the relative polarization of two subpulses, one can “purify” the polarization of the γ-photon beam via the VD effect, thereby significantly enhancing the circular polarization of the γ-photon beam. Due to the VD assistance, the VB effect reaches optimal when the relative polarization is nearly 30°, not the widely used 45° in the common VB detection methods. The numerical results show that one can obtain a circularly polarized γ-photon beam with average degree of about 30% (43%) for energies above 500 (1000) MeV and brilliance of about 10 24 (10 23 ) photons/(s · mm 2 · mrad 2 · 0.1%BW) at 500 (1000) MeV by using a currently feasible laser with a peak intensity of about 10 22 Wcm − 2. And, it can be further improved to above 60% (75%) by increasing the laser pulse duration. Moreover, our method is shown to be robust with respect to the laser and electron beam parameters, and can also be used to efficiently confirm the well-known VB effect itself, which has been predicted a very long time ago but has not been directly observed in experiments yet.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Chong Lv and Feng Wan and Yousef I.

Here, a 3D microfluidic model is developed to examine the effects of indoxyl sulfate on monocyte adhesion and extravasation across engineered microvessels embedded in hydrogels with different densities under controlled luminal pressure. Elevated pressure alone in absence of indoxyl sulfate significantly enhanced monocyte adhesion and extravasation, regardless of matrix density, while matrix density regulated adhesion and transmigration in the uremic environment. ICAM-1 is identified as a key driver of THP-1 monocyte adhesion to the endothelium. Additionally, denser hydrogels primed monocytes toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype with reduced phagocytic capacity, while softer hydrogels induced an anti-inflammatory-like phenotype with enhanced phagocytosis. However, the uremic environment reduced phagocytosis and shifted cells toward a pro-inflammatory-like state, irrespective of matrix density.

  @article{ , abstract = {Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons, ultimately leading to irreversible vision loss. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the significant risk factors in glaucoma; however, neurodegeneration continues even after effective IOP management, underscoring the need for neuroprotective therapies. This study investigates the role of connexin43 (Cx43), which is extensively expressed in retinal macroglia, in regulating microglial activation and optic nerve degeneration in glaucoma. A high-fidelity CRISPR-Cas13 (hfCas13X) system is employed to selectively target and knock down Cx43 expression in macroglia. The findings reveal that Cx43-mediated ATP release through hemichannels exacerbates microglial activation and neuroinflammation, thereby contributing to RGC loss. Notably, in a mouse model of chronic ocular hypertension (COH) glaucoma, knocking down Cx43 in macroglia using the hfCas13X system significantly promoted the survival of RGCs and the integrity of the optic nerve, and improved visual function. The hfCas13X system, which offers high-fidelity RNA editing with minimal off-target effects, represents a novel and promising therapeutic strategy for glaucoma, highlighting the potential of gene editing technologies in the management of neurodegenerative diseases.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Guoli Zhao and Zhen Li and Ming-Jie Zhao and Shu-Ying Li and Qing Xia and Shuoyu Xu and Yu Zhang and Yi Wang and Fang Li and Yu-Ling Liu and Yun-Hui Guo and Ruo-Xi Xu and Han Zhou and Hong Zhou and Wen-Wen Ding and Yong-Chen Wang and Yanying Miao and Zhongfeng Wang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202415856}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {33}, pages = {e15856}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas ) is a globally important autohexaploid root and tuber crop. Fusarium root rot threatens its entire growth, harvest, and storage period, thereby reducing yield and quality. Therefore, a deeper understanding of Fusarium pathogenicity and sweet potato defense is urgently required. Here, two single nucleotide polymorphisms are identified within the promoter region of the I. batatas CHY zinc-finger and ring protein1 ( IbCHYR1 ) gene that encode an E3 ubiquitin ligase linked to root rot resistance. In susceptible varieties, the high dosage allele Pro :: IbCHYR1 Hap1 leads to increased expression of IbCHYR1 . Overexpression of IbCHYR1 increases susceptibility to root rot and Fusarium wilt. IbCHYR1 interacts with the I. batatas CCCH-type zinc-finger protein ( IbZnFR ) to promote its degradation. IbZnFR confers resistance to root rot and Fusarium wilt and improves yield by more than 10%. The high dosage Pro :: IbZnFR Hap2 allele is associated with resistance to root rot disease. Moreover, FfRlpA2 , a conserved Fusarium effector, is identified as a protease inhibitor that stabilizes and hijacks IbCHYR1 to degrade IbZnFR , thereby inhibiting multiple defense pathways.

Antiangiogenic therapies are approved to treat different kinds of cancer. However, the success of these treatments is so far limited as some patients do not respond at all and others develop resistances. Thus, a deeper understanding of the mechanisms driving tumor angiogenesis and the variations in tumor vessels is crucial. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a fast volumetric imaging technique that provides detailed insights into tumor vascularization and perfusion of vessels in a label-free and non-invasive manner. An ultra-high resolution OCTA and confocal fluorescence imaging pipeline are developed to analyze tumor vascularization and blood perfusion in vivo, using a zebrafish cancer model. OCTA imaging operating at 800 nm is optimized to show slow blood flow allowing to compare the functionality of blood vessels in healthy and tumor-bearing zebrafish. Furthermore, effects of small compounds on tumor vascularization can be investigated with our setup.

The attainment of ultralow CMC while sustaining the constant micelle presents a significant challenge. Here, by an ingenious pressurizing strategy, the ultralow CMC is obtained for the immobilized micelle. The ultralow CMC of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) is performed under pressure by the detection of encapsulated coumarin 35 (C35) attractively. At 0.80 GPa, the CMC of CTAB is decreased ≈111-fold to 8.3 ± 0.1 µ m compared to 917.2 ± 8.7 µ m at 0.10 MPa. The ultralow CMC under pressure is probed relying on the quenched fluorescence background of C35. Femtosecond transient absorption spectra confer a clear picture that the pressure-induced fluorescence quenching is ascribed to the reinforced competition for the twisted intramolecular charge transfer process of the C35.

  @article{ , abstract = {Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies and epigenetic modifiers play a key role in HCC progression. Histone H3 trimethylation at lysine-36 (H3K36me3) determines deposition of mRNA de novo N 6 -methyladenosine (m 6 A) modification. However, it remains largely elusive how long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are selected for proper m 6 A methylation. The current study provides evidence for L1CAM-AS1 as a novel H3K36me3-guided, m 6 A-modified lncRNA through integration of genome-wide H3K36me3 profiles and transcriptome-wide m 6 A profiles of HCC cells. The crucial m 6 A-modification site in L1CAM-AS1 exon 3 is recognized by IGF2BP1, leading to increased lncRNA stability. Oncogenic L1CAM-AS1 shows higher expression in HCC tissues than in normal specimens, and its elevated expression is associated with shorten patient survival. Mechanistically, L1CAM-AS1 interrupts binding of RAN to the E3 ligase OSTM1, suppresses RAN ubiquitination at Lys152 and Lys167, stabilizes RAN protein, enhances nuclear import of RELA (p65), and activates the NF-κB signaling, leading to up-regulated CCL2 expression. L1CAM-AS1-induced CCL2 secretion from HCC cells enhances M2 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Meanwhile, immunosuppressive M2 macrophages-released CCL5 augments RELA nuclear import in HCC cells, which in turn activates the NF-κB signaling. Given the critical role of macrophages in anti-tumor immunity, inhibition of the L1CAM-AS1-RAN axis promotes the efficacy of PD-1 blockade via TAM reprogramming in HCC mouse models. In conclusion, this study provides novel insights into how epigenetic alternations are involved in antitumor immunity modulation and illustrates promising potentials of L1CAM-AS1 in immune-checkpoint inhibitor treatments for HCC.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Teng Wang and Linyu Han and Yanfei Huo and Long Zhang and Yizhou Huang and Nasha Zhang and Ming Yang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202414909}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {33}, pages = {e14909}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Although recent evidence indicates that the peripheral nervous system is associated with tumor progression, its role in EBV + DLBCL remains poorly understood. In the cohort, patients with EBV⁺DLBCL exhibit significantly shorter overall survival (OS). Two EBV + DLBCL cell lines are established and characterized. Although cell proliferation does not differ significantly in vitro, tumors derived from EBV + DLBCL cells demonstrate accelerated growth compared to their parental counterparts in mouse models. Mechanistically, transcriptome analysis reveals the upregulation of axonogenesis-related genes and pathways in EBV + DLBCL tumors. Immunostaining confirms increased nerve fiber infiltration in SUDHL6-EBV xenografts and enhance neurite outgrowth from dorsal root ganglia co-cultured with EBV + DLBCL cells. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments show that sympathetic nerves promote tumor growth via β2-adrenergic receptors (β2ARs), which are attenuated by selective β2AR blockers. Clinically, EBV⁺DLBCL patient samples show more sympathetic nerve fibers and higher β2AR expression, both of which are associated with poorer survival.

  @article{ , abstract = {Zinc plays a crucial role in the gut barrier function and are widely used for the prevention of bowel disease. However, the mechanism via which zinc supplementation exerts this regulatory effect is unclear. The present study identifies and characterizes the zinc-responsive activation of AKT and demonstrates its function in alleviating gut barrier dysfunction. Mechanistically, zinc increased intracellular SAM production, a methyl donor, by promoting the activation of the metallochaperone ZNG1-METAP1 complex. Subsequently, zinc facilitates methylation (symmetrical dimethylarginine, SDMA) of AKT at residues R391 and R15, which is facilitated by PRMT5. The AKT SDMA modification promotes AKT translocation from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane and its interaction with mTORC2, ultimately promoting AKT activation and cell proliferation. Notably, histidine has an antagonistic effect on zinc-induced the AKT activation, cell proliferation, and gut barrier improvement by chelating zinc. These results demonstrate that zinc activates AKT and alleviates gut barrier dysfunction by inducing activation of the ZNG1-METAP1-PRMT5-AKT SDMA pathway, and highlight that limiting histidine intake may have effective therapeutic potential for bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Chuanjiang Cai and Yining Zheng and Bo Sun and Guoyan Wang and Pengfei Li and Huijun Geng and Rongnuo Li and Miaomiao Zhu and Yuanyuan Zhu and Dingping Feng and Lei Chen and Guiyan Chu and Lu Deng and Shiyan Qiao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202508280}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {33}, pages = {e08280}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Here, the bioinformatic analysis identified that CXCL13 expression is highly elevated in T cells from patients who respond to ICB, indicating its possible role in enhancing T cell antitumor responses. Mouse CAR T cells are engineered to overexpress CXCL13 and observed that these cells displayed reduced exhaustion, increased central memory phenotype, and improved mitochondrial function and proliferation in an AKT-mTOR dependent manner. CXCL13-overexpressing CAR T cells show significantly increased antitumor activity in vivo, particularly when combined with PD-1 inhibition, promoting the expansion and persistence of early exhausted CD8 + CAR T cells.

  @article{ , abstract = {Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common digestive tract malignant cancer with high incidence and mortality rate. Many studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs are involved in the progression of various types of tumors. The lncRNA protein disulfide isomerase family A member 3 pseudogene 1 (PDIA3P1) promotes the progression of ESCC, but the molecular mechanism behind this is still unclear. In this study, PDIA3P1 is highly expressed in ESCC, produces more lactate by regulating glycolysis, and the increased lactate upregulates lactylation levels to drive tumor progression. Mechanistically, PDIA3P1 competes with miR-152-3p to prevent degradation of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) mRNA, and disrupts the binding between membrane-associated RING-CH 8 (MARCH8) and hexokinase 2 (HK2) to reduce ubiquitination degradation of HK2, thereby promoting glycolysis. High activity glycolysis produces more lactate, which upregulates the level of histone H4K8 lactylation (H4K8la) and promotes the transcription of target bone morphogenic protein 7 (BMP7). Functionally, BMP7 is involved in the regulation of ESCC progression by PDIA3P1 both in vivo and in vitro. In addition, wilms tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) mediated m6A modification enhances the stability of PDIA3P1 through Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) dependent recognition. Taken together, these findings reveal the key role of PDIA3P1 regulates glycolysis-H4K8la-BMP7 axis in the progression of ESCC and provides new insights into the interplay between metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic regulation.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Tao Huang and Qi You and Jiawei Liu and Xuguang Shen and Dengjun Huang and Xinlu Tao and Zhijie He and Chengwei Wu and Xinran Xi and Shouqiang Yu and Feng Liu and Zhihao Wu and Wenjun Mao and Shaojin Zhu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202506529}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {33}, pages = {e06529}, shortjournal = {Adv.

This study investigates Li microstructures during electrodeposition at ultra-high capacities (up to 12 mAh cm⁻ 2 ) and over repeated cycling, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The results show that the microstructural evolution of Li depends on the interplay between interphasial properties and deposition kinetics. A layer-by-layer epitaxial Li growth with a coherent lattice orientation is achievable under homogeneous interphase and slow deposition kinetics. However, at higher capacities or extended cycling, deterioration of interphase homogeneity disrupts crystal matching, resulting in island-like deposits with randomly oriented single-crystalline grains. In contrast, an inhomogeneous interphase and faster kinetics lead to whisker-like Li deposits. These results demonstrate that while cohesive interactions between depositing Li crystals can result in isolated single-crystalline grains, maintaining interphase homogeneity and stability is essential to enable coherent lattice matching for layer-by-layer epitaxial growth.

  @article{ , abstract = {Developing high damping alloys (HDAs) with large elastic strain has attracted growing attention due to the increasing demand for energy absorption with overload reliability and reusability. However, damping capacity inherently conflicts with elasticity, because the former requires a liable movement of crystal defects while the latter opposite. To deal with the damping-elasticity paradox, the advantage of pseudobinary eutectic reaction and rapid cooling of laser powder bed fusion is taken to fabricate a bulk NiTiSn nanocomposite with a two-level hierarchical structure. The first-level architecture is composed of martensitic NiTi nanolamellae and reinforced Ti 3 Sn nanolamellae. In addition to lattice strain matching and lamellar boundary strengthening, a novel mechanism of martensite reorientation mediated by reversible stress-induced detwinning-twinning is activated to generate large elastic strain. A high density of nanotwins and nanodomains within NiTi nanolamellae constitute the second-level architecture, which provides pronounced internal friction for high damping capacity. As a result, our NiTiSn nanocomposite exhibits a record-high integration of damping capacity (tanδ > 0.10) and elastic strain (exceeding 4.5%), as well as superb stability under cyclic overload.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing and metabolic flow analysis of brain and bone marrow (BM) is used to map the metabolic signatures of monocyte-derived cells (MCs) during lethal West Nile virus encephalitis. Trajectory analysis shows that BM monocytes progress through three metabolic profiles before migrating to the brain and differentiating into a pro-inflammatory HIF1-α⁺ MC population. This population further diverges into an inflammatory, iNOS⁺ MC subset with high glycolysis and amino acid metabolism, and a protective, glycolytically quiescent, antigen-presenting MC subset. Daily in vivo glycolysis inhibition reduces neuroinflammation and disease signs without increasing viral load. This effect does not reflect a broad reduction in myelopoiesis but rather a selective decrease in iNOS⁺ MC migration, revealing distinct glycolytic dependencies among MC subsets. HIF1-α activity remains independent of glycolysis, enabling functional differentiation of antigen-presenting MCs without impairing antiviral responses by cervical lymph node T cells.

  @article{ , abstract = {Pro-inflammatory photodynamic therapy (PDT) holds immense potential to ignite robust and long-lasting systemic anti-tumor immune responses. However, the limited penetration depth of conventional ultra violet (UV)-visible irradiation and the tumor hypoxia microenvironment significantly constrain the efficacy of immune-regulatory PDT. Here, a mitochondria-targeting enhanced nanoplatform (NZ @TG ) is reported, activated by near-infrared (NIR) light-driven PDT, to address these challenges and amplify systemic anti-tumor immunity. This nanoplatform employs an interfacial lanthanide-organic triplet photosensation mechanism to realize localized oxidative damage of oxygen-rich mitochondria under NIR irradiation. Simultaneously, the exacerbated hypoxia induced by PDT activates a TH302 prodrug, resulting in cell cycle arrest in highly proliferative tumor cells. These combined effects trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD), releasing damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) to activate immune responses. This approach demonstrates significantly enhanced tumor ablation in deep-seated lesions in orthotopic liver tumor models and induces long-term anti-tumor immune memory. Moreover, the NIR-PDT-induced immune activation markedly improves the immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy efficacy. This strategy offers a robust modality for immune activation in cancer therapy, paving the way for effective treatment of deep-seated tumors and preventing recurrence.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Cheng-Ao Li and Junjie Nan and Qingxuan Ye and Bingzhu Zheng and Xiaomeng Dai and Jingya Li and Feng Wang and Huimin Ma and Yu Cheng and Jian Ruan and Weijia Fang and Peng Zhao and Renren Deng and Dong Cen}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202505525}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {33}, pages = {e05525}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Under chemical pressure, Eu 2+ migrates from Ba 2+ to Na + lattice sites in NRBBO, leading to a gradual decrease in the FWHM, making it more competitive for display applications. The existence of chemical pressure in the lattice is demonstrated through a high-pressure spectrum. The migration of Eu 2+ lattice sites under chemical pressure is verified by XRD refinement, low-temperature spectrum and EXAFS. NRBBO: 0.11Eu 2+ can be effectively excited by NUV and blue light, with an emission peak at 512 nm and a FWHM of 54 nm.

Pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived epiblast models mimicking gastrulation processes have sparked significant interest in bridging this gap.

Here, a well-defined laminin/alginate bioink to create epiblast-like models from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) using electro-assisted bioprinting is proposed. This approach enables the generation of large-scale hiPSC-laden microgels that not only facilitate mass transfer but also mimic the structural characteristics of early embryos, which allow hiPSCs to self-organize into disc-like epiblast models with consistent morphology and phenotype. With adaptability to human embryonic stem cells, this method demonstrates the versatility of engineering reproducible epiblast-like models using various PSC lineages. Importantly, the bioactive components and physical confinement provided by the bioink, and the endogenous regulation of the WNT signaling pathway, contribute to disc-like morphogenesis, recapitulation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition critical in the gastrulation process, and generation of the posterior epiblast population, directing the mass production of manipulable embryonic models for studying the spatiotemporal events and possible defects in early human development.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yixue Luo and Liheng Luo and Ling Wang and Shanshan Yang and Hongan Ren and Shaojun Liang and Xiaoyu Wang and Yijun Su and Leqian Yu and Xiaoyue Wang and Mingen Xu and Rui Yao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202505340}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {33}, pages = {e05340}, shortjournal = {Adv.

This study uses a carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 )-induced liver fibrosis mouse model to investigate the role of macrophage GHSR in liver fibrosis.

The FC-based material structures could induce periodically localised/amplified stress at the ice/solid interface, leading to interfacial elastic instability and facilitating effective ice detachment. Low ice adhesion strength is achieved, while the tensile strength of the materials is enhanced by 19 times more than the polymer matrix due to the reinforcement from the FC frameworks. Based on the serrated features of the shear forces and numerically simulated interfacial stress distribution, a new theoretical model is established to interpret the nature of interfacial elastic instability and undulatory interfacial stress. This work provides fundamental insights for designing high-performance icephobic materials that transcend traditional performance trade-offs, advancing both surface science and materials for practical ice mitigation.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xinyu Fan and Jingtong Li and Deyu Yang and Jie Fei and Hejun Li and Xianghui Hou}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202503855}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {33}, pages = {e03855}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Brain organoid technology has revolutionized the ability to model human neurodevelopment in vitro. However, current techniques remain limited by their reliance on simplified endothelial cell populations. Multi-Region Brain Organoids (MRBOs) are engineered that integrate cerebral, mid/hindbrain, and complex endothelial organoids into one structure. Unlike earlier approaches based on isolated Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells, the endothelial organoids contain diverse vascular cell types, including progenitors, mature endothelial cells, pericytes, proliferating angiogenic cells, and stromal cells. The strategy employs sequential modulation of key developmental pathways to generate individual organoids, followed by optimized fusion conditions that maintain regional identities while supporting cellular integration. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing reveals that MRBOs develop discrete neural populations specific to each brain region alongside specialized endothelial populations that establish paracrine signaling networks. Integration analysis with human fetal brain data shows that MRBOs contribute to 80% of cellular clusters found in human fetal brain tissue (Carnegie stages 12–16). CellChat analysis identifies 13 previously uncharacterized endothelial-neural signaling interactions. Endothelial-derived factors are uncovered that support intermediate progenitor populations during hindbrain development, but not cerebral development, revealing a role for endothelial populations in regional brain patterning.

  @article{ , abstract = {Nitric oxide (NO), a pivotal redox signaling molecule, coordinates plant development and immune responses through S -nitrosylation-mediated protein modification. While NO-dependent S -nitrosylation fine-tunes immune responses, whether pathogens hijack this process to subvert plant immunity remains unclear. Here it is shown that S -nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR), which maintains NO homeostasis by degrading S -nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), positively regulates tomato resistance to Phytophthora capsici . Active-site mutations in GSNOR abolished its function in plant defense. Remarkably, GSNOR is manipulated by PcRD18, which is an RxLR effector of P. capsici that is involved in virulence of this oomycete pathogen. PcRD18 elevates the cellular NO content and S -nitrosylation levels by dually inhibiting GSNOR activity and promoting its autophagy-mediated degradation via enhanced ATG8c interaction. Structure analysis reveals critical PcRD18-GSNOR interaction interfaces and mutations in these sites of PcRD18 abolish its ability to interact with GSNOR, thereby blocking the effector's ability to elevate NO levels, suppress the reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst, and enhance virulence. GSNOR mutations disrupting PcRD18 binding produced a mutant form of GSNOR enhancing Phytophthora resistance.

The nanoplatform can achieve abundant energy deposition in the form of high-energy electrons within tumors upon X-ray exposure. Subsequently, the transfer of electrons from Ag 2 S to Ag moiety enables effective electron–hole pair separation, which greatly improves the radiocatalysis efficiency in generating highly toxic hydroxyl radical (•OH). Due to the specific binding to tumor PD-L1, Z PD-L1 endows this nanoplatform with efficient tumor targeting and meanwhile reduces immune suppression of T cells by achieving PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, intensifying RT-induced immunologic cell death. Notably, the presence of the Ag moiety allows the nanoplatform to act as an H 2 O 2 scavenger in intestinal tissues during metabolism, effectively relieving radiation enteritis.

The enhancement is confined to the designed resonant energy, while photons with off-resonance energies are fully reflected, making the TP photodetector an ideal candidate for compact and efficient image sensors, eliminating the need for additional filters or bulky microlenses for color discrimination or photon collection. Furthermore, the photocurrent generated by the TP photodetector can be regulated by varying light pulse stimulations, enabling it to mimic the synaptic dynamics of the human brain.

  @article{ , abstract = {Dysregulated RNA splicing has emerged as a pervasive yet understudied feature of cancer. The small GTPase RAC1 undergoes splicing changes in multiple cancers. However, the in vivo functional disparities between the two major RAC1 isoforms, RAC1B and the canonical RAC1A, and their therapeutic implications in cancer remain largely unexplored. Here, RAC1B is found to be significantly upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients, particularly in those harboring EGFR mutations. Through isoform-specific overexpression and depletion assays in murine and cellular models of EGFR -mutant LUAD, it is revealed that RAC1B, but not RAC1A, promotes LUAD cell proliferation and tumor growth. Mechanistically, RAC1B stabilizes EGFR by inhibiting its lysosome trafficking and degradation. This function is mediated by the specific binding of RAC1B to the guanine nucleotide exchange factor GDS1, which activates RAC1B. The splicing factor RBM10 which is frequently mutated in LUAD is further identified as a negative regulator of RAC1B . Importantly, utilizing LUAD patient-derived organoid and xenograft models, it is demonstrated that targeting RAC1B potently suppresses tumor growth and enhances the efficacy of EGFR inhibitors.

  @article{ , abstract = {Recent advancements in proteomics sequencing have significantly enhanced our ability to explore cell-type-specific signatures within complex tissues, providing critical insights into disease mechanisms. However, current proteomic technologies often suffer from low resolution, resulting in the mixing of multiple cell types during profiling. To address this limitation, cell-type deconvolution methods are developed to infer cellular composition from proteomic data. While most existing deconvolution methods are focused on transcriptomics, their application to proteomics is hindered by the weak correlation and divergent quantification between transcriptome and proteome data. Although a few proteomic-specific deconvolution methods are recently emerged, they still exhibit limited capability and performance, partly because they only extract shared information from individual samples while ignoring higher-order relationships between them. Here, GraphDEC is proposed, a novel graph neural network-based method for dec iphering cell type proportions in proteomic profiling data. GraphDEC begins by simulating bulk samples from single-cell proteomic data to create reference data, which is then used to infer cell types in target datasets. Specifically, GraphDEC employs an autoencoder to extract low-dimensional representations from both reference and target proteomic data, enabling the construction of similarity relationships among samples. These relationships, combined with proteomic data, are processed by a graph neural network that integrates a multi-channel mechanism and a hybrid neighborhood-aware approach to learn highly effective representations. To optimize the model, GraphDEC utilizes multiple loss functions, including triplet loss, domain adaptation loss, and Mean Squared Error (MSE) loss, ensuring robust performance and mitigating batch effects. Benchmark experiments demonstrate that GraphDEC achieves state-of-the-art performance across diverse synthetic proteomic datasets from different sequencing technologies and real-world spatial proteomic datasets.

This review focuses on BM arising from lung cancer, providing an overview of recent findings related to clinical characteristics, diagnostic strategies, and early metastatic processes. Multi-omics analyses have elucidated the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor initiation and progression, with particular emphasis on the role of the tumor microenvironment. In this review, preclinical BM models, detailed signaling pathways, and emerging clinical therapies are also discussed. Current treatment approaches are multidisciplinary, and multi-omics technologies enhance both diagnosis and therapeutic strategies by revealing the complex biology of BM. Continued research is needed to identify BM-specific drug targets, particularly those involved in crossing the blood–brain barrier and remodeling the brain microenvironment.

This phase is well conductive and ferromagnetic in a wide temperature range, with the highest Curie temperature of ≈275 K among the 4 d /5 d -TMOs. Particularly, this interfacial phase shows a considerably improved saturation magnetization (≈2 µ B /Ru, twice that of the bulk counterpart), and a greatly reduced coercive force. All these features are highly desired by the application of spin-orbit torque. Due to the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling, such a Ca 0.5 Sr 0.5 RuO 3 interfacial phase exhibits a significantly larger anomalous Hall conductivity than the typical 3 d oxide ferromagnet La 2/3 Sr 1/3 MnO 3 near room temperature. Analyses based on the techniques of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, polarized-neutron reflectometry, and scanning transmission electron microscopy reveal a magnetic exchange interaction between the interfacial phases of Ca 0.5 Sr 0.5 RuO 3 and LaMnO 3 and an obvious expansion of the interfacial Mn─O─Mn bond angle, stabilizing the high-temperature ferromagnetic state of the CSRO/LMO interface.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Mengqin Wang and Qinghua Zhang and Xiao Deng and Jie Zheng and Wenxiao Shi and Yunzhong Chen and Baogen Shen and Yuansha Chen and Tao Zhu and Fengxia Hu and Jirong Sun}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202502613}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {33}, pages = {e02613}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Despite these protective roles, the functional contribution of dopaminergic signaling, particularly through specific receptor subtypes, remains unexplored in glucocorticoid (GC)-associated osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) pathogenesis. Here, the dopamine D1 receptor (DRD1), a G protein-coupled receptor with few identified bone-related functions, is identified as a positive regulator of GC-induced apoptosis. The dopamine levels in the serum of GC-associated ONFH patients are significantly lower than those in the normal population. The protein and gene expression levels of DRD1 and the number of DRD1-positive cells are abnormally elevated in the pathological state of GC-associated ONFH, and DRD1 is expressed in osteoblasts. Overexpression of DRD1 attenuates GC-induced osteogenic inhibition and apoptosis in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, overexpression of DRD1 elevates cAMP levels, activates downstream protein kinase A, and inhibits GC-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis through the ATF3/CHOP signaling pathway, thus improving bone homeostasis.

  @article{ , abstract = {Disturbed blood flow and the resulting oscillatory low shear stress (OSS) are key contributors to vascular endothelial dysfunction and the initiation of atherosclerosis. However, the molecular mediators that translate abnormal hemodynamic signals into pathological vascular endothelial responses remain unclear. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are classical mechanosensors in the vascular endothelium. Here, using vascular endothelial-specific knockout mice, in vitro parallel plate flow chamber systems, and phosphoproteomic analysis, G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is identified as a central mediator of OSS-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction. Mechanistically, OSS promotes GRK2 phosphorylation at serine 29, which subsequently activates the transcription factor activator protein-1 (AP-1), increasing the expression of the proinflammatory adhesion molecules intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1). In parallel, AP-1 promotes nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A 1 (NR4A1) transcription, which anchors liver kinase B1 (LKB1) to the nucleus and suppresses downstream AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling, leading to metabolic dysregulation and impaired vascular endothelial homeostasis.

Mechanistic studies revealed that NDRG1 stabilizes lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) by inhibiting its ubiquitination, thereby enhancing glycolysis and promoting lactate accumulation. This process fosters immune suppression by inducing M2 macrophage polarization, impairing CD8 + T cell function, and upregulating immunosuppressive genes. Furthermore, histone H3K18 lactylation in macrophages exacerbates this immunosuppressive state. Clinically, elevated NDRG1 expression correlates with increased PD-L1 levels, a higher abundance of immunosuppressive macrophages, and reduced CD8 + T cell infiltration, contributing to immunotherapy resistance.

  @article{ , abstract = {Heterostructured composite materials with multiple components have potential applications in diverse aspects, as they tend to exhibit superior physicochemical properties than the sum of their single counterparts. However, the fabrication of heterostructures composed of atomic-precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) is seldom reported owing to their inherent instability, leading to the decomposition of metal NCs during the formation of peripheral layers. Here, a spontaneously formed amorphous-crystalline heterostructured Ag 40 @Ag 12 is discovered, wherein the amorphous Ag 40 NCs are enveloped by a single crystal of Ag 12 NCs. The formation of Ag 40 @Ag 12 involves three stages, including initial crystallization of Ag 40 NCs, partial decomposition (self-sacrifice) of Ag 40 NCs enabling Ag 12 assembly, and epitaxial-growth crystallization of the Ag 12 NCs. The partially decomposed Ag 40 NCs provide starting materials for the formation and crystallization of Ag 12 NCs to encapsulate the Ag 40 seeds, while the residual Ag 40 loses its crystallinity in solution simultaneously. This work not only reports a novel class of heterostructured materials for the first time but also provides new insights into the macroscopic co-assembly of distinct silver clusters.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jia-Hong Huang and Yao Cui and Peng Luo and Zhao-Yang Wang and Shuang-Quan Zang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202501186}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {33}, pages = {e01186}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6) channel inhibition mitigates tubular injury and renal fibrosis in murine models of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and 2-month chronic post–ischemia-reperfusion injury (2m post-I/R). Through integrated analysis of single-cell-RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) data from UUO mice treated with the selective TRPC6 inhibitor SH045, here the renoprotective cell composition and cell type-specific transcriptional programs are defined. We explored translational aspects by conducting an in-depth scRNA-Seq analysis of kidney samples from patients with CKD. These results reveal global transcriptional shifts with a dramatic diversification of inflammatory cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. Notably, a distinct subpopulation of novel endothelial cells is delineated, which is termed ECRIN, that regulate inflammatory networks implicating VEGF and GAS signaling pathways. The data also indicates that inhibition of TRPC6 channels triggers a Prnp transcription factor regulatory network, which contributes to the alleviation of renal fibrosis. The key findings are supported at the protein level by immunofluorescence and western blot analysis. We observed similar patterns in the chronic 2m postI/R injury model.

Developing a culture system to bridge the gap is thus crucial. Here, a multicellular approach is employed using human glia and vascular cells to optimize a 3D brain vascular niche model that enabled not only long-term culture of patient derived GBM cells but also recapitulation of key features of GBM heterogeneity, in particular invasion behavior and vascular association. Comparative transcriptomics of identical patient derived GBM cells in 3D and in vivo xenotransplants models revealed that glia-vascular contact induced genes concerning neural/glia development, synaptic regulation, as well as immune suppression. This gene signature displayed region specific enrichment in the leading edge and microvascular proliferation zones in human GBM and predicted poor prognosis. Gene variance analysis also uncovered histone demethylation and xylosyltransferase activity as main themes for gene adaption of GBM cells in vivo.

  @article{ , abstract = {Membraneless organelles (MLOs) are dynamic macromolecular condensates that act as crucibles to modulate cellular processes. Since MLOs form in the absence of lipid membranes, it is important to understand how their effective regulation is achieved by the protein homeostasis (proteostasis) system. To address this question, a comprehensive mapping of the proteostasis network (PN) of MLOs, comprising over 220 000 protein–protein interactions is reported. This analysis reveals how regulatory proteins (PN proteins) occupy central roles in the overall protein–protein interaction network of MLOs. It is then investigated which branches of the PN are most important in the regulation of MLOs, finding that the anabolic component, which makes up ≈30% of the PN, is more closely involved than the catabolic component, which makes up the remaining ≈70% of the PN. It is also found that translation-related PN proteins and molecular chaperones play central roles in MLO regulation. Finally, how specificity may be achieved despite shared PN components is explored. These findings suggest that HSP70 chaperones function as generic MLO regulators, while client-specific HSP70 co-chaperones confer specificity to the chaperone action. These results identify the composition of the PN of MLOs, rationalize its organization, and reveal central roles of molecular chaperones in protein regulation within MLOs.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Christine M.

In this study, single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) and high-resolution spatial transcriptomics are employed to comprehensively investigate the development trajectories and the TME. The results revealed that PSCC cells mimicked the differentiation and tissue organization of normal penile epithelium, independent of the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection status. Notably, a spatial subtype, Tum_1, appeared at early stage of tumor differentiation and in tumor–normal boundary regions. This subtype exhibited enhanced basal-like and stemness features and showed high LAMC2 expression, which activated laminin-integrin signaling via ITGA6/ITGB4, promoting tumor invasiveness. Furthermore, the results indicated that HPV-positive basal stem-like neoplasms dampened the immune function of T cells and macrophages, promoting an immunosuppressive environment that facilitates tumor progression. Supporting this, the patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma who have high expression of HPV-positive Tum_1 signatures derived greater benefit from PD-1 blockade therapy.

  @article{ , abstract = {Diabetes is widely acknowledged as a significant risk factor for atherosclerosis, facilitating plaque formation through various mechanisms. Although both conditions are linked to the aging process, the relationship among cellular senescence, diabetes, and atherosclerosis remains inadequately understood. This study presents evidence that elevated glucose levels expedite the progression of atherosclerosis by promoting macrophage senescence. Increased glucose levels are shown to induce senescence in macrophages, which enhances the uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and facilitates the formation of foam cells. This mechanism is driven by lactate production via glycolysis, which activates the lactate receptor GPR132, thereby promoting macrophage senescence. The activation of GPR132 is implicated in mediating senescence and lipid uptake through Src phosphorylation. The deletion of GPR132 markedly reduces macrophage senescence and atherosclerosis in mouse models. Furthermore, saracatinib, a specific Src inhibitor, has been demonstrated to effectively alleviate diabetic atherosclerosis in experimental settings. In clinical samples, elevated plasma lactate levels and the activation of the GPR132-Src pathway in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are positively associated with coronary stenosis. These findings propose a potential mechanism through which diabetes accelerates atherosclerosis via the lactate-GPR132-Src pathway, underscoring macrophage senescence as a pivotal target in the context of diabetic atherosclerosis.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xiaofeng Ge and Shuying Wang and Zhaokai Li and Jing Yu and Binbin Liu and Ruiying Wang and Shichen Bu and Nawsher wan and Yan Wang and Cuilian Dai and Yijun Lin}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202500141}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {9}, number = {33}, pages = {e00141}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to discover new targets to overcome doxorubicin resistance in breast cancer. Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 2C (UBE2C) is an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme that catalyzes the assembly of K11-linked ubiquitin chains.

In the present study, UBE2C was found to be markedly upregulated in breast cancer and transcriptionally regulated by FOXM1. Inhibition of UBE2C suppressed proliferation and induced senescence in breast cancer cells. Moreover, the inhibition of UBE2C promoted Parkin-mediated K63-linked ubiquitination of TOP2A, leading to its proteasomal degradation and thus sensitizing breast cancer cells to doxorubicin.

Benefiting from the advancement of eukaryotic, prokaryotic (e.g., MATQ-seq and BacDrop), and dual (e.g., PatH-Cap) single-cell sequencing technologies, changes in each side and host-pathogen interactions can be elucidated. Pathogens undergo adaptive evolution in the host microenvironment, exhibiting different transcription profiles (e.g., upregulated HSV-1 immediate-early genes during infection), transcription efficiencies, and others. Consequently, they develop distinct replication capacity, virulence, and other phenotypes. For the host, intrinsic differences among cells and variations brought by diverse phenotypic pathogens together determine the heterogeneity of its responses (e.g., the dual roles of interferon-I at different infection stages). Interferon-related pathway alterations (influencing both adaptive and innate immune responses) and cell exhaustion (manifesting as the functional impairment of cells) are observed in various infections, seemingly as a shared approach in host-pathogen interactions.

  @article{ , abstract = {Sample health is critical for live-cell fluorescence microscopy and has promoted light-sheet microscopy that restricts its ultraviolet–visible excitation to one plane inside a 3D sample. It is thus intriguing that laser-scanning nonlinear optical microscopy, which similarly restricts its near-infrared excitation, has not broadly enabled gentle label-free molecular imaging. It is hypothesized that intense near-infrared excitation induces phototoxicity via linear absorption of intrinsic biomolecules with subsequent triplet buildup, rather than the commonly assumed mechanism of nonlinear absorption. Using a reproducible phototoxicity assay based on the time-lapse elevation of autofluorescence (hyper-fluorescence) from a homogeneous tissue model (chicken breast), strong evidence is provided supporting this hypothesis. The study justifies a simple imaging technique, e.g., rapidly scanned sub-80-fs excitation with full triplet-relaxation, to mitigate this ubiquitous linear-absorption-mediated phototoxicity independent of sample types.

The enhanced activities of OCT4 and SOX2 directly facilitated reprogramming by activating downstream targets, some of which are involved in cell cycle regulation.

Clinical evidence and animal models have indicated that the ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) component Listerin is involved in the development of AD. How Listerin regulates the development and progression of AD is unknown. Here, it is demonstrated that Listerin can decrease brain inflammation and alleviate AD-related cognitive impairments. Microglial-specific knockout of Listerin exhibits deteriorative cognitive symptoms based on the extracellular Amyloid-β (Aβ) or Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. Mechanistically, Listerin directly binds to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) mRNA and facilitates the IRE1α-mediated cleavage and degradation of TLR4 mRNA, leading to the alleviation of TLR4-induced brain inflammation. Adenovirus-mediated overexpression of Listerin decelerates the disease progression in the mouse model of Aβ-mediated neurodegeneration.

This study elucidates the structure-mechanical properties and mechanobiology of the PCM in fibrocartilage, using the murine meniscus as the model. The fibrocartilage PCM is comprised of thin, randomly oriented collagen fibrils that entrap proteoglycans, contrasting with the densely packed, highly aligned collagen fibers in the bulk extracellular matrix (ECM). Compared to the ECM, the PCM exhibits lower modulus and greater isotropy, but has similar relative viscoelastic properties. In Col5a1 +/− menisci, the reduction of collagen V results in thicker, more heterogeneous collagen fibrils, reduced modulus, loss of isotropy and faster viscoelastic relaxation in the PCM. Such altered PCM leads to impaired matrix–to–cell strain transmission, and in turn, disrupts mechanotransduction of meniscal cells, as illustrated by reduced calcium signaling activities and alters expression of matrix genes. In vitro, Col5a1 +/− cells produce a weakened PCM with inferior properties and reduced protection of cells against tensile stretch.

However, slightly detuned periodic stimulation of higher frequency leads to a desynchronized regime, revealing a novel approach for disrupting pathological synchronicity. The introduction of an additional direct current (DC) offset expands the modulatory ranges, facilitating the achievement of either entrainment or desynchronization, depending on the DC offset's polarity. The experimental observations are quantitatively reproduced by a computational model of spiking neurons, suggesting that the interaction between nonlinear oscillators can predict the network's response to AC fields.

However, known causal genes only explain a minority of the estimated heritability. To unveil the underlying genetic architecture, exome sequencing is performed on 214 sporadic patients with NSOFCs. The findings substantiate the genetic and allelic heterogeneity of NSOFCs and underscore the crucial role of dysregulation of OFC-related signaling pathways in the occurrence of NSOFCs. Besides, the candidate variants discovered provide a fruitful resource for further genetic studies. Particularly, three BOC missense variants (p.R407W, p.G436S, and p.D1018N) are identified in three unrelated cases with cleft palate. In parallel, a BOC nonsense variant (p.R681X), co-segregating with a GLI2 missense variant (p.A543G), is identified in a multiplex family with microform cleft lip. Functional studies demonstrate while the four BOC variants are hypomorphic alleles, the GLI2 variant is a hypermorphic allele. The counteraction between BOC p.R681X allele and GLI2 p.A543G allele accounts for the mild phenotype in the multiplex family.

  @article{ , abstract = {Colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) is a leading cause of death in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and is characterized by an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). This study employs mouse in vivo selection to isolate highly metastatic CRLM derivatives for profiling their transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic alterations associated with CRLM. Notably, the expression of SLAMF3 is significantly upregulated in CRLM derivatives and its knockdown effectively suppresses CRLM in mice. RUNX1 transcriptionally upregulates SLAMF3 expression and combined targeting of the RUNX1/SLAMF3 axis synergistically suppresses liver metastasis in mice. In parallel, SLAMF3 suppresses macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of CRC cells through the SHP-1/2/mTORC1 pathway. Conversely, SLAMF3 knockdown promotes M1 polarization in liver metastases and activates the CCL signaling pathway between macrophages and CD8 + T cells. It also reduces the exhausted CD8 + T cells in liver metastases and the expression of inhibitory receptors PD-1 and TIM-3, thus alleviating the immunosuppressive TME. Clinically, activation of the RUNX1/SLAMF3 axis is closely associated with CRLM progression and correlates with a reduced proportion of clinically beneficial C1QC⁺ tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs).

Herein, thermo-responsive tri-state photonic crystals is presented that enable thermochromism of structural color, fluorescence (FL), and organic afterglow. The fabrication of this system integrates the incorporation of organic phosphors into polymeric colloids via solid-phase extraction and embeds thermochromic microcapsules into colloidal crystals to regulate incoherent scattering and far-field light absorption. In typical triplet-to-singlet Förster resonance energy transfer (TS-FRET) for afterglow color tuning, higher energy transfer efficiency reduces the afterglow lifetime. In contrast, the far-field light absorption-based energy transfer in this photonic crystal system avoids this trade-off, thereby preserving the long-lived triplet emission.

By leveraging Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between fluorescent proteins (FPs) and Halo-tag dyes, a system is engineered where fluorescence emission depends on FPs donor excitation, ensuring only dyes bound to target protein are fluorescent, while nonspecifically bound dyes remain dark, enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

It is experimentally demonstrated that the self-adaptive metasurface can reflect the incoming wave from any direction within ±50° to the normal reflection direction with great efficacy. Further, the metasurface self-adapts quickly, properly redirecting waves whose incidence angle changes by up to 12 deg/s with power consumption as low as 415 mW. Such metasurfaces provide an autonomous, computationally simple, cost-effective, energy efficient and real-time solution for a self-adaptive reflection control, and open exciting possibilities for wireless communication, radar sensing and related applications.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Bo-Wen Ren and Chu Qi and Peixing Li and Xiaoluo He and Alex M.

TET2-Prkcg exerts significant regulatory functions downstream of β_Man.

Genetic approaches leverage DNA's protein-coding capability to reprogram receptor function through techniques like domain fusion and site-directed mutagenesis. Complementarily, non-genetic strategies exploit the structural and functional properties of DNA to achieve multidimensional control over receptor functionalities. Specifically, functional nucleic acids (FNAs) confer novel and customizable molecular recognition responsiveness, while DNA nanostructures, such as DNA origami, provide nanoscale spatial precision for regulating receptor valency and oligomerization. Furthermore, programmable dynamic DNA reactions facilitate the development of nanodevices responsive to diverse stimuli, including proteins, small molecules, ions, light, and mechanical forces.

Current devices, however, are often invasive, bulky, slow, power-inefficient, Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS)-incompatible, and unsuitable for large-scale, re-usable outdoor sensor networks. Utilizing micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication enables wafer-scale miniaturization and precise control of ultrasound transducers, thereby enhancing sensitivity while significantly reducing power and cost.

Their mechanical and electrical properties are systematically investigated. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analysis revealed that TSU-PCDm has a higher elastic modulus than BSU-PCDm, attributed to differences in grain size and defect distribution. Despite these differences, all PCDms in our work exhibit consistently high modulus values with minimal mechanical degradation across various cantilever geometries.

  @article{ , abstract = {Polyploidization is a major driving force for evolutionary innovation and environmental adaptation in plants and is notably prevalent in kiwifruits. However, the molecular mechanisms through which subgenome interactions influence vigor and stress resilience remain largely unclear. Here, the high-quality genome of the tetraploid kiwifruit Actinidia valvata , which exhibits strong waterlogging tolerance compared to cultivated varieties is reported. The analysis reveals that the polyploid genome is of hybrid origin and exhibits subgenome dominance. The enhanced gene expression in the dominant subgenome is accompanied by fewer transposable elements, lower DNA methylation levels, increased chromatin accessibility, and biased global RNA m 6 A methylation abundance and distribution. It is demonstrated that this dominance is established, in part, prior to polyploidization. The dominant subgenome is transcriptionally more responsive to waterlogging stress, consistent with the fact that its putative progenitor is also waterlogging tolerant, affirming the significant role of the dominant subgenome in mediating waterlogging tolerance in A. valvata . Furthermore, inhibition of RNA m 6 A methylation in A. valvata roots enhances their activity under waterlogging stress, while waterlogging modulates m 6 A modifications, particularly in the dominant subgenome, affecting genes known to be involved in waterlogging responses. These findings reveal that subgenome dominance in A . valvata operates through multiple regulatory mechanisms, collectively endowing the polyploid with unique traits inherited from its progenitors.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xiaoli Hu and Changbin Xu and Xiaolan Li and Lin Li and Yu Bao and Miaofeng Gu and Xinyi Li and Liuqing Huo and Jinli Gong and Xiaolong Li and Minhui Wang and Kai Xu and Xueren Yin and Zhangjun Fei and Xuepeng Sun}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202503974}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {32}, pages = {e03974}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {TP53 inactivation in human cancers often results from MDM2/MDMX overexpression, yet therapeutic targeting remains challenging owing to incomplete mechanistic understanding. Lipid droplet (LD) enrichment is identified as a key trigger for MDM2-mediated p53 degradation. High-fat diet (HFD)-induced LD accumulation in tumor cells elevates LD-surface MDM2 through Cyb5r3-Myh9 interactions, which recruit cytoplasmic p53/Myh9 complexes to LDs. This spatial proximity enhances MDM2-p53 binding, accelerating its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Degraded p53 releases the RPS3A-C/EBPβ complex, upregulating LD-promoting factors such as CD36 to establish a cell-autonomous feed-forward loop. Critically, pharmacological LD reduction (via lipogenesis inhibitors) or switching of tumor-bearing mice from an HFD to a normal diet restores p53 levels and suppresses tumor growth. These findings delineate a lipid-driven regulatory axis in which LD biogenesis initiates MDM2-dependent p53 destruction, reshaping tumor cell lipid metabolism. This mechanism links dietary lipids to oncogenesis through organelle-specific protein trafficking and provides a therapeutic rationale for targeting lipid metabolism in tumors.

Here, EBBP (Estrogen-responsive B Box Protein) is identified as a key cardioprotective regulator in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Transcriptomic profiling of doxorubicin (DOX)-treated hearts reveals significant EBBP upregulation. Cardiac-specific overexpression of EBBP protects against myocardial injury and dysfunction by reducing DOX-induced ferroptosis. Conversely, EBBP silencing exacerbates DOX-induced cardiac damage, an effect reversed by ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1). The molecular targets of EBBP are subsequently identified through bulk RNA sequencing, molecular docking analysis, co-immunoprecipitation experiments, and ubiquitination assays. Mechanistically, EBBP interacts with GRP78 to promote its K63-linked ubiquitination, disrupting the inhibitory GRP78-PERK interaction and activating PERK-mediated integrated stress response (ISR). This signaling cascade ultimately leads to the activation of downstream effectors ATF4 and Nrf2, which coordinately upregulates the SLC7A11/GSH/GPX4 axis and restores iron homeostasis. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of PERK abolishes the protective effects of EBBP against myocardial injury and ferroptosis. Overall, our findings identify EBBP as a novel suppressor of ferroptosis in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity via the PERK-mediated ISR, thereby underscoring its therapeutic potential for preventing anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Zilong Chen and Can Chen and Yichen Wu and Yinxue Xia and Ruijie Luo and Jiangcheng Shu and Long Chen and Zhaohui Wang and Cheng Wang and Kai Huang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202502726}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {32}, pages = {e02726}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Halophytes possess inherent stress resilience and diverse adaptations, making them valuable genetic reservoirs for crop breeding. The leguminous halophyte Sesbania bispinosa is a valuable forage crop that thrives in saline soils. To explore its salt tolerance, high-quality genome assemblies is generated for the salt-tolerant S. bispinosa accession SbTA02 and the salt-sensitive accession SbSA44. Genomic analysis revealed that the genomic divergence between the two accessions primarily originates from their pericentromeric and centromeric regions, which contain the two largest inversions: a >27-Mb inversion on chromosome 5 and a ≈49-Mb inversion on chromosome 6. Population-level analysis revealed that the 27-Mb inversion is widespread in S. bispinosa , dividing the tested populations into inland and coastal groups. These groups have many genetic divergence regions (GDRs), with genetically isolated haplotypes in the middle section of chromosome 5, including the large inversion and centromeric regions. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified significant salt-tolerance signals in the GDRs, pinpointing the anthocyanidin synthase gene SbANS .

On the opposite end, reductive stress results from an overabundance of reducing equivalents, disrupting normal ROS-dependent signaling pathways and leading to cellular dysfunction. Despite its importance in tumor biology, reductive stress has received less attention than oxidative stress. This group has deliberately driven tumors into a state of reductive stress, thereby exposing unique vulnerabilities and validating a novel therapeutic strategy. Here, the concept and mechanisms of reductive stress is reviewed, introduced methods for detecting it, and discussed its dual role in tumor progression and potential as a therapeutic target.

While advancing age is recognized as the most significant risk factor for both the development and mortality associated with pulmonary fibrosis, precise mechanisms underlying this association remain elusive.

In IPF patients, a marked reduction in NPNT expression is detected in lung tissues, which correlated with a decline in lung function. The study reveals that NPNT deficiency exacerbates bleomycin-induced senescence in alveolar epithelial cells, potentially intensifying fibrosis severity due to diminishes extracellular matrix turnover. Conversely, NPNT overexpression in the alveolar epithelium improves lung respiratory function and enhances resistance to aging and fibrosis.

  @article{ , abstract = {Immunotherapy efficacy in NSCLC is significantly reduced upon liver metastasis due to profound alterations in the tumor microenvironment, characterized by the absence of cyclic mechanical stretch and increased extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness. However, the mechanisms underlying the synergistic regulation of these two mechanical cues on the immunotherapy response in NSCLC cells remain poorly understood. In this study, it is demonstrated that both mechanical and biochemical activation of the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo 1 induces nuclear translocation of YAP, thereby promoting an immunotherapy-responsive tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) through enhanced expression of PD-L1 and secretion of chemokine C-X-C ligand 10 (CXCL10, chemokine recruiting CD8 + T cells) in NSCLC cells. The mathematical modeling further reveals that cyclic stretch modulates the PD-L1/CXCL10 response to ECM stiffness, shifting from a bimodal to a unimodal distribution. In a murine model of liver metastasis, the combination of Piezo 1 agonist with anti-PD-1 therapy significantly improves the immunotherapy response, as evidenced by elevated PD-L1 levels and increased CD8 + T cell infiltration. These findings underscore the critical role of Piezo 1 in enhancing the immunotherapeutic response in NSCLC liver metastasis and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Tian Zhang and Yuan Li and Bo Cheng and Zhao Xu and Mengjie Liu and Jinteng Feng and Yixue Bai and Yang Yu and Panpan Jiang and Luying Geng and Feng Xu and Hui Guo}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202501335}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {32}, pages = {e01335}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Background & Aims: Alternating periods of excessive and restrained eating results in weight cycling (‘yo-yo’ effect), a suspected risk factor for eating behavior dysregulation such as binge eating. The hypothesis that recurrent diet alternation alters hedonic feeding regulation by changing either or both intestinal microbiota and brain neuronal and glial regulation in mouse is tested. Methods : C57BL/6 mice undergo 3 cycles of 1 week of western diet (WD) separated by 2 weeks of chow diet (CYCL group) or remain under chow diet (CTRL group). Results : CYCL mice exhibit weight cycling, with enhanced weight gain upon each WD feeding phase and increased energy intake specifically during the first hours following WD re-introduction, reminiscent of binge-eating episodes. Expression of reward-related genes in the striatum and thickness of the astro-glial barrier in the brain stem is enhanced in CYCL mice. Diet alternation induces caecal dysbiosis in CYCL mice. Gut microbiota transfer from CYCL mice to naive recipient mice recapitulates the altered eating behavior upon WD exposure. Conclusions : Alternation between high-energy and standard diets is established to durably remodel the gut microbiota and the brain toward a profile associated with an increase in hedonic appetite and that this microbiota signature affects hedonic feeding regulation.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Mélanie Fouesnard and Adélie Salin and Sandy Ribes and Magali Monnoye and Gaëlle Champeil-Potokar and Marie-Sabelle Hjeij and Gwénaëlle Randuineau and Léa Le Gleau and Selma Ben Fradj and Catherine Philippe and Alexandre Benani and Isabelle Denis and Véronique Douard and Gaëlle Boudry}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202501214}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {32}, pages = {e01214}, shortjournal = {Adv.

However, the development of a clinically demand-driven adhesive, ensuring both reliable adhesion and osteogenic activity, poses a significant challenge. Herein, a structurally and functionally dual-biomimetic bone adhesive is developed through the design of an organic–inorganic network-enhanced hydrogel, which integrates caffeic acid-grafted collagen (CAC), aminated laponite (ALAP), and N-hydroxysuccinimide ester-terminated polyethylene glycol (tetra-PEG-SC). Benefiting from nanosheet-induced strengthening, the mechanically reinforced adhesive can maintain integrity under extreme compression (98%) and tensile (600%) deformations, facilitating anatomical repositioning of rabbit radius and porcine femur fractures. Of greater importance, the adhesive accelerated fracture healing, potentially via ROS scavenging and immunomodulation, as evidenced by reduced oxidative stress and M2 macrophage polarization in vitro. Assessed through an innovative rabbit radius comminuted fracture model, the injectable bone adhesive demonstrates rapid and flexible adhesion of bone fragments in a blood-rich environment, as observed over the 2 fold improvement in biomechanical and radiological performance compared with commercially available cyanoacrylate adhesives.

  @article{ , abstract = {Inside-out and outside-in activations of integrin both play important roles in adhesion formation and cell motility. While such mechanisms of RGD-binding integrin, including integrin β1 and β3, are well documented, mechanosensitive regulations of integrin β6 remain largely unknown. Using traction force-free RGD-membrane as the model system, integrin β6 and viscous RGD ligands initially colocalize, assemble micrometer-sized clusters (15-min), and then gradually dissipate (60-min). Domain-swapping approaches are used and find that integrin β6 chimera with integrin β1's cytoplasmic tail can establish the persistent spatial clustering, suggesting the involvement of inside-out signaling. In vitro, pulldown and microscale thermophoresis experiments reveal that cytoplasmic adapter kindlin2 is the key factor and specifically exhibits weak association with integrin β6. Such kindlin2 deficiency can in turn be restored by additional kindlin2 or the introduction of PIPK1 that promotes kindlin2 recruitment to the plasma membrane. Dissipated integrin β6 is found in non-active conformation. Strengthening the interaction between kindlin2 and integrin β6 stabilizes integrin β6 in active conformation and is necessary to promote the migration of AsPC-1 cells on the soft PDMS. Thus, kindlin-mediated inside-out activation of integrin β6 bypasses extracellular force-dependent signaling and regulates the mechanosensitive adhesion assembly and cell migration on the compliant substrate.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Wan Ning Lee and Jiamin Li and Nan-Peng Chen and Cheng-han Yu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202501078}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {32}, pages = {e01078}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of malignant tumor that frequently metastasizes to axillary lymph nodes (LNs). Nonetheless, the precise mechanisms underlying alterations in the tumor microenvironment (TME) in LN metastasis in breast cancer remain poorly understood.

Ten major cell types are identified, with the subclusters of each major cell type exhibiting diverse characteristics. Furthermore, multiple signatures are collected to evaluate the key components of the subclusters using multi-omics methodologies. This study finds that myCAFs may hasten LN metastasis, and observed a notable increase in APOE + macrophages and a higher proportion of exhausted CD8 + T cells, contributing to the immunosuppressive TME. Moreover, cancer cells in metastatic lesions exhibited diverse expression patterns linked to proliferation, metastasis, oxidative phosphorylation, hypoxia, and interferon responses.

  @article{ , abstract = {While bilateral fitting of bone conduction hearing devices (BCHDs) enhances spatial hearing, further improvements are constrained by the unresolved effects of crosstalk – an influential factor that disrupts binaural acoustic cues, such as interaural level difference (ILD) and interaural phase differences (IPD), essential for accurate sound localization. This paper introduces a simplified theoretical model to describe the crosstalk phenomenon and predict the cochlear vibrational responses under bilateral bone conduction (BC) based on principles of wave interference and superposition. The model reveals sound lateralization patterns across different ILD and IPD combinations, different from well-established principles governing air conduction (AC) sound localization, including the precedence effect and intensity rule. These predicted patterns are experimentally validated through cadaveric vibration measurements and are further corroborated in psychoacoustic sound lateralization tests conducted on healthy volunteers. The findings suggest that crosstalk induces wave interference in the skull and leads to the superposition of bilateral signals at the cochleae, resulting in these atypical lateralization patterns. This evidence highlights the inherent challenges of sound localization under BC compared to AC, identifying crosstalk-induced wave interference as a primary obstacle to improved spatial hearing for bilateral BCHD users.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Liu-Jie Ren and Yi Yu and Cheng Hua and You-Zhou Xie and Wen-Juan Yao and Jun-Yi Liang and Chen-Long Li and Tian-Yu Zhang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202500302}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {32}, pages = {e00302}, shortjournal = {Adv.

GO priming increased chlorophyll content by 91.6% in WT plants and 29.6% in GM ( bar -gene) plants. Photosynthetic efficiency and quantum yield improved in the WT plants but declined in the GM plants.

Upon reaching injury lesions, this system splits into two individual drugs: cationic peptide scavenges pathological cfDNA and inhibits microglia-mediated neuroinflammation, while GPXP protects neurons against oxidative damage and neuronal apoptosis/ferroptosis.

  @article{ , abstract = {A crucial strategy employed by plants to enhance insect resistance is allocating amino acids into secondary metabolic pathways, ensuring the synthesis of specialized metabolites that confer resistance. The storage and redistribution of amino acids primarily occur in vacuole; therefore, transport mechanisms must exist to facilitate the directed extravasation of amino acids from vacuole to cytosol and feed them into secondary metabolism in response to stress. However, the specific amino acid transporter located in the vacuole responsible for amino acid distribution remains unclear. Here, we identify two tomato vacuolar amino acid transporters, SlAVT6A and SlAVT6B. SlAVT6A functions as the primary exporter, while SlAVT6B modulates transport capacity through SlAVT6A/SlAVT6B heterodimer formation. This system redirects amino acids to boost trichome density, terpene accumulation, and gibberellin synthesis, thereby strengthening defense against spider mites.

  @article{ , abstract = {Spatially confined photo-excitation with the lowest possible activation of the remaining volume is of central importance for high-resolution high-density optical data storage, fluorescence microscopy, 3D-lithography, and 3D-printing. Two-photon absorption (2PA) enables such applications yet leads to slow processing speed due to the underlying non-linear absorption process. Here, Split-Aperture Xolography (SAX), is introduced which uses stepwise excitation of dual-color responsive molecules to initiate a linear volumetric photo-reaction process that is up to several orders of magnitude more efficient than 2PA. The capabilities of SAX are investigated in a scenario study for focusing systems with high numerical aperture (NA) using a Python implementation of vectorial diffraction theory. The intersecting half-cones generated by the split illuminated entrance aperture of the objective reduce the axial focal spot size of the activation distribution by up to a factor of two compared to 2PA targeting the same electronic transition. A steep average decline of the activation probability with the fifth power away from focus is found for a wide range of directions. This is significantly better in comparison to 2PA and prevents that undesired out-of-focus excitation events sum-up with subsequent irradiations.

  @article{ , abstract = {Wetting interactions between biomolecular condensates and lipid membranes have demonstrated great potential to induce large-scale membrane transformations in synthetic cells. However, the ability to functionalize existing condensates and control their interactions with membranes is limited, restricting their utility in engineering controlled wetting behavior. Here, fully programmable condensates based on DNA Y-motifs are introduced to engineer precisely tunable wetting behavior. In contrast to unmodified condensates that show no interaction with membranes, wetting of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) can be induced by partial cholesterol-functionalization of DNA nanostructures. Incorporating photoactivatable DNA-lipid linker enables contact angles to be controlled over a wide range by varying UV exposure times. Furthermore, selective partitioning of small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) into DNA condensates is demonstrated via programmable surface interactions. In giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), membrane wetting of enclosed condensates can be efficiently induced post-fabrication and results in outward budding. Thus, this work establishes programmable DNA condensates as a powerful platform for fine-tuned control over membrane-associated processes in synthetic cells, exceeding traditional approaches such as altering lipid composition or environmental conditions. Finally, the platform provides the possibility to design smart drug carriers for controlled substance delivery and release, and represents a customizable model to study condensate-membrane dynamics.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Nastasja Kaletta and Sophia Burick and Yusuf Qudbuddin and Petra Schwille}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202415510}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {31}, pages = {e15510}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) remains the most prevalent complication compromising bone health in patients undergoing glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. Despite its clinical significance, osteocyte death, a pivotal initiator of GC-driven bone metabolic imbalance, has received insufficient attention. This study identifies ferroptosis, an iron-dependent regulated cell death mechanism, as a novel pathological phenotype of osteocytes in GC microenvironments. Utilizing GPX4 conditional knockout mice and pharmacological ferroptosis inhibitors, this work demonstrates that osteocyte ferroptosis exacerbates GIOP progression. Metabolomic profiling reveals cystine insufficiency and glutathione depletion in GC-treated osteocytes. Mechanistically, GCs directly impede the deubiquitinase PSMD14 from binding to SLC7A11, thereby promoting SLC7A11 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, which sharply diminishes cystine uptake. Bone-targeting adeno-associated virus-mediated PSMD14 overexpression stabilized SLC7A11, attenuating both osteocytic ferroptosis and bone loss in GIOP mice. Through high-throughput virtual screening, this work identifies Pantethine as a potent PSMD14 activator that enhances deubiquitinase activity, restores SLC7A11 expression in osteocytes, and mitigates osteoporosis.

  @article{ , abstract = {Kiwifruit, a nutritious fruit consumed globally, is affected by kiwifruit bacterial canker (KBC) caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae ( Psa ), which is a major biotic stress that adversely impacts its cultivation and production. KBC control is still challenging owing to the evolution of resistant populations of Psa , the environmental risks associated with copper bactericides, and lack of effective bactericides. Therefore, to develop novel and efficient bactericides against Psa , a matrine (MT)-5-methylsalicylic acid (5-OMESA) salt (MOS) is synthesized and its antibacterial activity is analyzed. The newly synthesized compound is more antibacterial against Psa than the commercial bactericide thiazole copper (TC). MOS significantly disrupts the membrane structure of Psa and penetrates the cells more efficiently. In addition, it has high affinities to the Psa FtsZ protein and DNA helicase, which probably contribute to its bactericidal activity. Subsequently, the encapsulation of MOS into a supramolecular nanocarrier hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) and the fabrication of a nano formulation (MOS@HPCD) result in superior solubility, penetration, foliar deposition and wettability, sustained release, and prolonged protection against Psa . The in vitro and in vivo control efficiencies of MOS@HPCD against Psa are markedly enhanced compared to those of MOS.

  @article{ , abstract = {Metabolic processes and epigenetic reprogramming are intricately interconnected; however, their mechanistic interplay remains unclear. This study elucidates the role of ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY), an essential enzyme in acetyl-CoA production that uniquely localizes to the nucleus in oocytes and early embryos. Maternal Acly deletion in oocytes preserves fertility due to the compensatory upregulation of Acetyl-CoA Synthetase 2 (ACSS2), whereas zygotic Acly knockout causes developmental arrest at the pre-blastocyst stage without ACSS2 induction. Mechanistically, nuclear ACLY recruits and interacts with histone acetyltransferases, specifically E1A binding protein p300 (P300) and histone acetyltransferase 1 (HAT1), supplying acetyl-CoA for histone acetylation to activate transcription, which is essential for embryogenesis. Clinically, enhanced ACLY nuclear localization correlates with superior quality of human embryos. Functionally, AKT-mediated phosphorylation (Thr447/Ser451/Ser455) drives the nuclear translocation of ACLY and facilitates its interaction with HAT1 and P300. Inhibition of ACLY or its phosphorylation disrupts the promoting effects of AKT activators, such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), on blastocyst formation.

  @article{ , abstract = {Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a heterogeneous subtype of T-cell lymphoma usually driven by genetic alterations affecting the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene. Despite the relatively favorable prognosis of ALK-positive (ALK + ) ALCL, approximately 30–40% of patients experience relapses or disease progression. This work identifies protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN2 as a critical gene essential for the growth and survival of ALK + ALCL by CRISPR/Cas9 editing. PTPN2 depletion can significantly suppress tumor cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and provoke cell cycle arrest. Mechanistically, PTPN2 negatively regulates transferrin receptor (TFRC) expression to promote mitochondrial renewal via PTEN induced kinase 1 (PINK1)-PRKN (parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase)-mediated mitophagy. The process functions independently of ferroptosis. Interestingly, TFRC is directly regulated by the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1A) in its promoter.

In an intestinal co-culture model membrane consisting of M cells and enterocytes, PAH-loaded nanoplastics enhance the overall PAH transport into and across the membrane, with HDPE achieving the highest intracellular PAH concentration. RNA sequencing of cell membranes exposed to nanoplastics reveals significant transcriptional changes, including upregulation of oxidative stress and detoxification pathways (NQO1, CYP1A1, CYP1B1), especially in response to PAH-loaded nanoplastics, while genes associated with basic cell functions, such as DNA repair (MACROD2) and division (KIF20A), are downregulated. These findings confirm the feasibility of nanoplastics to increase bioaccessibility and bioavailability of hydrophobic carcinogens and enhance cellular stress, which underscores the potential environmental and health impacts associated with nanoplastics as carriers of hydrophobic environmental toxins.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Erik B.

Here, quantum thermalization dynamics are explored in real-time in an ultracold Fermi gas suddenly quenched to the BEC-BCS crossover. When quenched to unitarity, it is observed that the cloud size remains unchanged in the early evolution while the momentum distribution emerges two prethermal states with a lifetime difference of two orders of magnitude in the early and intermediate stage before very slowly evolving to the final stationary state. It is revealed that a crossover momentum, at which the momentum distribution remains nearly unchanged, is determined by the thermal wavelength at high temperatures and the Fermi momentum while at low temperatures. It is identified that the universal prethermal dynamics scaling where momentum distributions with different temperatures collapse onto one curve. When quenched to the BEC side, the thermalization rapidly relaxes into a prethermal state and exhibits the low energy oscillation related to the molecular bound states.

Stx12 depletion disrupts mitochondrial morphology, reduces iron and zinc levels, and impairs ATP production. Stx12 -deficient cardiomyocytes exhibit prolonged repolarization due to decreased sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase (SERCA) activity.

The cancer cells undergo transformation to a reversible drug-tolerant persister (DTP) state prior to the development of resistance against EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Two DTP lung cancer cells with different proliferative capacities are established and identified dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) as a potential therapeutic target. The DTP cells primarily relied on oxidative phosphorylation, which is accompanied by the up-regulation of fatty acid metabolism. Mechanistically, DPP4 facilitates the uptake of fatty acids via carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1a (CPT1A, and enhances fatty acid oxidation. In addition, the DPP4-mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)-Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway maintains mitochondrial function by activating the antioxidant pathway. The combination of osimertinib and sitagliptin, a DPP4 inhibitor, not only suppressed tumor progression but also reduced the number of residual tumor cells and minimal residual disease.

Zr/Pb incorporation optimizes the band structure and significantly enhances the Seebeck coefficient, while Pb-substituted Ge sites occupy a more symmetric geometric center, reducing Ge vacancies, increasing crystal symmetry, and facilitating delocalized carrier transport.

Moreover, the alteration of this geometric center enhances phonon anharmonicity, and multi-scale defect structures induced by multi-element doping provide abundant phonon scattering sources. Consequently, the sample exhibits significantly improved µ w / κ L values over pristine GeTe across the entire temperature range, with an improvement of ≈238% at 650 K.

Functionally, CATED enhances cisplatin resistance by promoting cell proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. These effects could be transferred via CATED-overexpressing sEVs from donor cells and HGSOC tumor sEVs.

  @article{ , abstract = {Liquid–solid triboelectric nanogenerators (LS-TENGs) can be widely utilized for droplet energy harvesting, in which slippery modification of triboelectric layer is crucial for output enhancement. However, classical slippery lubricant-infused surfaces suffer from the blocked triboelectric effect and the poor durability. Herein, a controllable phase separation method is reported to disperse skeleton-enhanced lubricant particles on triboelectric layer, leading to the development of a stretchable slippery triboelectric nanogenerator (SS-TENG) based on a modified slippery triboelectric layer and a liquid metal electrode. The dispersed lubricant particles (DLPs) ensure triboelectric effect between droplet and triboelectric layer, in addition to improving energy harvesting and charge transfer efficiencies. As a result, the open circuit voltage significantly increases from 0.9 to 14.4 V, with a transfer charge density of 6.95 × 10 −3 C m −2 L −1 . The embedded skeleton within lubricant particle significantly improves the durability of triboelectric layer, ensuring nearly no decline in output performance of SS-TENG during long-term operation. Furthermore, the SS-TENG exhibits stable output even under 300% stretching, as the DLPs remain firmly anchored to triboelectric layer during deformation. Owing to its excellent triboelectric performance, durability, and flexibility, the SS-TENG can be integrated into various objects to harvest raindrop energy and power electronic devices.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Changjun Yang and Yan Wang and Yamei Wang and Zelinlan Wang and Yurun Guo and Liwen Zhang and Xiaolin Liu and Huawei Chen}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202505363}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {31}, pages = {e05363}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Approximately 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by seawater, making the ocean ideal for harvesting energy. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), due to their low cost and simple structure, are well-suited for capturing ocean energy. However, their low charge transfer under weak inputs limits efficiency in harvesting random and ultra-low-frequency wave energy. This paper proposes a novel bistable multi-layer TENG (BM-TENG) to address this challenge for self-powered wireless sensing and lighting. Simulations and experiments demonstrate that both in intra-well and inter-well motions, the bistable mechanism enhances the dynamic responses and thus the power output by up to 48%. Furthermore, the multi-layer design within the constrained structure significantly boosts the power density. Experimental results show 730 V peak-to-peak open-circuit voltage and 5 mW maximum power in a three-layer BM-TENG under the excitation of 0.6 Hz and 0.18 g. The normalized power density of the proposed device is 54.9 Wm −3 ·Hz −1 , surpassing the state-of-the-art results in literature.

This study introduces a real-time mass imaging-based label-free single-molecule immunoassay (LFSMiA).

Oncogenic mutations in Notch1 occur in up to 75% of T-ALL patients. Although γ-secretase inhibitors (GSIs) can block Notch1 activation, their clinical application is limited by side effects and reduced sensitivity. Here, a self-assembling, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive nanotherapeutic strategy—PHD/G-NPs—co-loaded with GSI and controlled released dihydroartemisinin (DHA), and modified with a CD38 antibody is reported. The CD38 antibody specifically targets T-ALL cells, while GSI selectively inhibits Notch1, resulting in a dual-targeting approach. GSI is released first, inhibiting Notch1 activation and inducing the death of a subset of T-ALL cells. To eliminate semi-quiescent T-ALL cells that escape initial therapy by elevating ROS levels, a ROS-sensitive DHA delivery system is employed to enhance ferroptosis and boost GSI efficacy. After elucidating the mechanism of action of PHD/G-NPs in T-ALL cells, PHD/G-NPs are combined with αPD-1, which triggers an anti-tumor immune response in vivo.

However, nothing is known about the tensional alterations that occur at the single-fiber level during tumorigenesis in humans. The well-validated peptide tension probe (FnBPA5) now reveals that Fibronectin fibers lose their tension as invasive tumors progress while they are stretched in healthy human breast tissue stroma and in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the non-invasive precursor of breast cancer. In invasive carcinomas, cancer cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and infiltrating immune cells (cytotoxic T cells and regulatory T cells), are predominantly located in proximity to untensed Fibronectin fibers. This is significant, as Fibronectin fiber stretching can mechano-regulate the reciprocal cell-ECM crosstalk and the bioavailability of ECM-bound molecules. Not only tissue stiffening, but also the accumulation of untensed Fibronectin fibers may serve as a mechanical biomarker that correlates with tumor grade.

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) offers a promising platform for flexible optoelectronics for compatibility with substrates, although temperature reduction causes degradation of electrical and optical properties due to insufficient hydrogen passivation. In this study, the effect of the hydrogen-to-silane (H 2 /SiH 4 ; f ratio) gas is systematically investigated ratio on the microstructural, optical, and electrical properties of a-Si:H films synthesized at an ultra-low temperature of 90 °C using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Raman and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy reveal that an optimized H 2 /SiH 4 ratio minimizes Si─H 2 bonding, effectively reducing defect density and improving film stability. Spectroscopic ellipsometry confirms that this ratio optimizes the refractive index and optical bandgap, enhancing light absorption. Electrical measurements demonstrate that photodiodes with the optimized a-Si:H layer exhibit superior photosensitivity and suppressed dark current ( f 2 : 20.6 and f 8 : 2.70 × 10 −10 A, respectively), attributed to improved carrier transport and reduced Shockley–Read–Hall (SRH) recombination. Furthermore, flexible photodetectors maintain high mechanical reliability under repeated bending cycles. These findings highlight the potential of ultra-low-temperature PECVD a-Si:H films for high-performance, flexible photodetectors.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Ye-ji Jeong and Kyeong-jin Hyun and Hee-Won Jang and Jongwon Yoon and Yonghun Kim and Woon Ik Park and Soo-Won Choi and Jung-Dae Kwon}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202504199}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {31}, pages = {e04199}, shortjournal = {Adv.

As a transcription factor with both activating and inhibitory functions, Ghd7 directly binds to CCACC motif genes involved in C/N metabolism. OsNAC42, an interacting protein of Ghd7, antagonistically regulates the expression of these target genes in rice seedlings and endosperm by forming a heterodimer with Ghd7.

This review discusses recent advances in methodologies and technologies for SOC quantification, including remote sensing (RS), proximal soil sensing (PSS), artificial intelligence (AI) for SOC modelling (in particular, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL)), biogeochemical modelling, and data fusion. Integrating data from RS, PSS, and other sensors usually leads to good SOC predictions, provided it is supported by careful calibration, validation across diverse pedo-climatic and land management, and the use of data processing and modelling frameworks. We also found that the accuracy of AI-driven SOC prediction improves when RS covariates are included. Although DL often outperforms classical ML, there is no single best AI algorithm. By incorporating simulated outputs from biogeochemical model as additional training data for AI, causal relationships in SOC turnover can be incorporated into empirical modelling, while maintaining predictive accuracy. In conclusion, SOC prediction can be enhanced through 1) integrating sensing technologies, 2) applying AI, notably DL, 3) addressing biogeochemical model limitations (assumptions, parameterization, structure), 4) expanding SOC data availability, 5) improving mathematical representation of microbial influences on SOC, and 6) strengthening interdisciplinary cooperation between soil scientists and model developers.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Zijuan Ding and Ke Liu and Sabine Grunwald and Pete Smith and Philippe Ciais and Bin Wang and Alexandre M.J.-C.

The hydrogel (CCS-RSF@PRP) with a hierarchical fibers-interwoven network structure, in which the activated platelets are enriched, is structurally similar to the native blood clot. Functionally, in addition to the function of enriching and releasing growth factors, CCS-RSF@PRP can remarkably scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), neutralize endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-1β), inhibit M1 macrophage polarization and induce M2 macrophage polarization, thus blocking the chronic inflammatory feedback loop in the periodontitis. In rat periodontitis model, CCS-RSF@PRP hydrogel significantly expedits the repair of periodontium by normalizing the periodontal immune-environment.

  @article{ , abstract = {Retinal vasculopathies pose a devastating threat to human health. While anti-VEGF therapy situates the first-line treatment for patients, the clinical efficacy is limited by suboptimal response and potential risks raised by long-term high-dosage use. Neurovascular unit uncoupling is recognized as a key mechanism contributing to pathological neovascularization, yet how immune components get involved is less appreciated. Here, it is reported that SUMOylation modulates the pro-angiogenic capacity of macrophage, and inhibition of the SUMO-conjugating enzyme UBC9 synergizes with anti-VEGF therapy in preclinical models. Diabetic human retinal mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) overexpress UBC9. Genetic ablation of UBC9 in MNPs compromises the crosstalk with endothelial cells by reducing Vegfa splicing isoforms, including Vegf120 , Vegf144 , Vegf164 , and Vegf188 . Mechanistically, hypoxia facilitates the SUMOylation of fused in sarcoma (FUS) protein at lysine residues K327 and K502. Mutation of the SUMOylation sites enhances FUS binding to the Vegfa 3′-untranslated region (3′UTR), leading to mRNA destabilization and decreased VEGFA production.

Several mitochondrial-derived metabolites influence cancer cell proliferation by modulating the epigenome. Here, the loss of STARD7, a lipid transfer protein whose expression is enhanced in breast cancer, is shown to lead a metabolic reprogramming characterized by the accumulation of carnitine derivatives and S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM). Elevated SAM levels cause the increase of H3K27 trimethylation on many gene promoters coding for candidates involved in cell cycle progression. Likewise, STARD7 deficiency triggers cell cycle arrest and impairs ERα-dependent cell proliferation.

This study reveals that GSDMD serves two distinct functions in pancreatic acinar cells and macrophages. In acinar cells, GSDMD inhibits the synthesis of pancreatic enzyme by downregulating the expression of Prss1, Pnlip, and Amy1 via the inhibition of the protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6)/eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4EBP1) pathway. Moreover, GSDMD induces pancreatic acinar cells to express mucin 1 (MUC1) by activating the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway, which forms a barrier that prevents digestive enzyme-mediated digestion. However, GSDMD promotes the secretion of inflammatory cytokines by macrophages during AP. In addition, GSDMD increases the infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils in AP and increases the proportion of Th1 and Th17 lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood.

  @article{ , abstract = {Radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) is caused by exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation and characterized by severe cognitive dysfunction and brain necrosis. However, the pathogenesis of RIBI is not fully understood, and no effective intervention is available. This work describes a blood–brain barrier (BBB) microphysiological system (MPS), that allowed to explore the responses of BBB and distinct brain cells to radiation exposure. Following acute exposure to radiation of X-ray or γ-ray, characteristic RIBI-associated pathological responses are observed, including BBB compromise, DNA breaks, inhibited cell proliferation, cell hypertrophy, and proinflammatory cytokine release. Among the distinctive types of cells, brain endothelial cells show the highest radiosensitivity as compared to other cells in the MPS. Intriguingly, X-ray and γ-ray radiation consistently induce prominent sterile inflammation responses, especially type I interferon response, in the BBB MPS. These responses are mediated by radiation-induced mitochondrial DNA release and subsequent activation of cGAS-STING signaling pathway. Furthermore, it is found abrocitinib (JAK1 inhibitor) and idebenone (mitochondrial protectant) can attenuate radiation-induced inflammation and ameliorate injuries in the BBB MPS.

Despite progress, developing selective and efficient catalysts for CO 2 RR remains challenging. In this study, Bi single-site catalysts (SSCs) is designed modified with various electronegative groups (─F, ─H, and ─OMe (─OCH 3 )) to improve the CO 2 RR selectivity of Bi through atomic-level microenvironment tuning. Among these, ─F group-modulated Bi-Sal-F catalyst exhibited a high Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 95% for HCOOH within the current density range of −0.1 to −0.5 A cm −2 . In contrast, the microenvironment modification with the neutral ─H group and the electron-donating ─OMe group both led to decreased HCOOH selectivity and promoted HER. Combined with theoretical calculations, this is revealed that the microenvironment regulated by the ─F group strongly correlates with the catalytic activity of the metal center. By reducing the band gap and electron density of Bi, this microenvironment enhances the Bi center's ability to adsorb CO 2 via oxygen-coordinated, while effectively lowering the activation barrier for intermediate formation during CO 2 RR, thus promoting high selectivity for HCOOH production.

During RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, pyroptosis of macrophages/preosteoclasts acts as a pivotal mechanism for IL-1β release, thereby promoting osteoclast maturation and bone resorption. In the current study, it is observed that Pinosylvin (PIN), a compound extracted from European red pine, selectively inhibits LPS- and RANKL-induced release of IL-1β effectively reducing osteoclastogenesis. Notably, PIN inhibits the assembly of NLRP3 and the cleavage of GSDMD, pro-IL-1β, and pro-caspase-1, suggesting its therapeutic effects are NLRP3-targeted. Mechanistically, PIN blockes the NEK7/NLRP3 interaction, but not the NLRP3/ASC interaction, through its 3,5-dihydroxy groups by binding to NEK7, thereby inhibiting subsequent pyroptosis and osteoclastogenesis. Importantly, PIN alleviates inflammatory bone loss due to estrogen deficiency, reduces cranial bone destruction from local LPS injections, and improves survival in LPS-induced septic mice.

  @article{ , abstract = {Bone loss and microstructural destruction in elderly men are associated with fractures and high mortality. While testosterone (Tes) is considered to be possibly protective, its regulatory mechanism in bone remodeling remains unclear. Here, bone microarchitectural analysis indicates that elderly men exhibit reduced cortical and trabecular thickness with elevated cortical porosity, particularly at the superior femoral head near the medial acetabulum. Serum profiling of 352 individuals showed that low Tes levels (<9.415 nmol·L −1 ) are associated with higher risk of bone loss. In vivo, tail-suspended mice lacking osteoblastic androgen receptor (AR) displayed similar femoral deterioration, with decreased trabecular bone and increased cortical porosity. Mechanistically, Tes enhances osteoblastic differentiation via AR-mediated upregulation of tenascin-C (TNC). Molecular docking suggests the fibrinogen C-terminal domain of TNC inhibits osteoclastogenesis by binding integrin αV, blocking adhesion of RGD-containing proteins. A synthetic peptide (pep2) mimicking this domain preserved bone architecture in osteoblast-specific Ar -knockout, tail-suspended mice. Moreover, elevated serum extracellular vesicle amyloid precursor protein, secondary to Tes-AR-TNC decline and osteoclast overactivation, emerged as a biomarker of bone loss when combined with low Tes.

  @article{ , abstract = {Radiotherapy (RT) has recently reemerged as a promising approach for melanoma treatment because of its potential to trigger abscopal effects. However, the intrinsic radioresistance of melanoma significantly diminishes RT-induced DNA damage and the subsequent release of immunostimulatory molecules, thereby impairing systemic antitumor immunity. To overcome these challenges, a multifunctional anisotropic Au-Pd heterostructured nanosystem (APSMR) is developed that incorporates a plasmonically enhanced Au-Pd core, with a shell composed of a biodegradable, Mn-doped targeting peptide. The nanosystem integrates photothermal, radiotherapeutic, and immunomodulatory functions. Under 1064 nm laser irradiation, APSMR generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) via plasmon-driven catalysis and Mn-mediated Fenton-like reactions. Concurrently, mild hyperthermia (HT) promotes oxygenation and disrupts DNA repair pathways, resulting in multi-directional DNA damage and an increase in immunogenic cell death (ICD). Furthermore, the release of Mn 2 ⁺ ions activates the cGAS–STING pathway, which synergizes with ICD to promote systemic antitumor immunity. Notably, APSMR treatment also upregulates PD-L1 expression, thereby sensitizing tumors to immune checkpoint blockade. Collectively, APSMR offers a potent and synergistic strategy to amplify RT-driven tumor vaccination and improve therapeutic responses against metastatic melanoma.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Cheng Chen and Yuqi Huang and Wandong Wang and Minghao Chao and Weiguo Sun and Yinghui Kong and Guan Jiang and Yong Gao and Fenglei Gao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202500492}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {31}, pages = {e00492}, shortjournal = {Adv.

However, collecting these signals without disrupting normal skin functions and convoluting motion artifacts remains challenging. Additionally, person-to-person signal variance complicates data processing. In this study, it is demonstrated that triboelectric signals generated from touch can be imperceptibly collected and processed using a machine learning model to achieve tactile augmentation. When one hand contacts and rubs against a target object, charge transfer occurs between the skin and the object's surface. By placing a substrate-less microfiber electrode on the finger of the other hand, a body-coupled triboelectric circuit is formed to collect these signals, which contain material-specific features such as amplitude and peak ratio. A machine learning technique is developed to process the triboelectric signals, enabling the classification of six different materials with a prediction accuracy of ≈95%. The material differentiation model is further validated across different users, achieving an overall accuracy of ≈88 %, illustrating the potential of utilizing the body-coupled triboelectric circuit for tactile augmentation.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Junting Huang and Stanley Gong Sheng Ka and Haydn Cheong and Yaru Zhang and Daping Chu and Sohini Kar-Narayan and Wenyu Wang and Yan Yan Shery Huang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202500217}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {31}, pages = {e00217}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome, caused by a mutation in the LMNA gene, leads to increased levels of truncated prelamin A, progerin, in the nuclear membrane. The accumulation of progerin results in defective nuclear morphology and is associated with altered expression of linker of the nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton complex proteins, which are critical for nuclear signal transduction via molecular coupling between the extranuclear cytoskeleton and lamin-associated nuclear envelope. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying progerin accumulation-induced nuclear deformation and its effects on intranuclear chromosomal organization remain unclear. Here, the spatiotemporal evolution of nuclear wrinkles is analyzed in response to variations in substrate stiffness using a doxycycline-inducible progerin expression system. It is found that cytoskeletal tension regulates the onset of progerin-induced nuclear envelope wrinkling and that the molecular interaction between SUN1 and LMNA controls the actomyosin-dependent attenuation of nuclear tension. Genome-wide analysis of chromatin accessibility and gene expression further suggests that an imbalance in force between the intra- and extranuclear spaces induces nuclear deformation, which specifically regulates progeria-associated gene expression via modification of mechanosensitive signaling pathways. The findings highlight the crucial role of nuclear lamin–cytoskeletal connectivity in bridging nuclear mechanotransduction and the biological aging process.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Ji-Eun Park and Juhyeon Jo and Kun Xu and Sun-Ah Lee and Seong-Beom Han and YigJi Lee and Won-Ki Cho and Bo Li and Soo Hyun Kim and Dong-Hwee Kim}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202502375}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {31}, pages = {2502375}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Herein, a novel nanolayered manganese oxide material (Na 0.7 MnO 2.05 , Na-NLMO) is proposed and its application for Sr(II) capture in both simulated waste liquid and real natural water systems. Na-NLMO is tailored for Sr(II) adsorption through a simple and rapid solid-phase reaction, which has good chemical stability and a strong affinity for Sr(II) across the pH range of 1 to 8. The maximum adsorption capacity is 145.21 mg g −1 taking advantage of the solid-liquid ratio of 0.67 g L −1 . The loaded Sr(II) is almost quantitatively recovered by dilute hydrochloric acid solution. Even after 4 adsorption-desorption cycles, it could still effectively adsorb more than 99.9% of Sr(II). Furthermore, the adsorption is unaffected by the excess presence of sodium(I), potassium(I), magnesium(II), and calcium(II). In real-world media such as tap water and river water, its distribution coefficients are 5.2 × 10 5 and 5.6 × 10 5 mL g −1 , respectively.

Herein, a microporous polyimide with high intrinsic free volume [PI-TB-NDI, naphthalenediimide (NDI) and Tröger's base (TB)] is synthesized for organic solvent nanofiltration. The resulting polymer showed high free volume because of fused aromatic rings and a twisted structure. Aromatic rings enhanced solvent resistance due to strong molecular interaction, but increased detrimental local tight packing as well. To suppress local tight packing without compromising the molecular interactions vital for stability, an ortho -methyl group is deliberately introduced onto the TB unit to increase both intra- and inter-molecular steric hindrance, imparting an H-shaped TB-NDI-TB molecular stent. On the introduction of ortho -methyl groups, the sub-0.4 nm ultra-micropores are enlarged to ultra-micropores (0.6–0.7 nm) to give the membrane with rich solvent-accessible sub-nanochannels. This resulted in an unprecedented enhancement of solvent permeability, with ethanol permeability 2-8 times greater than that of state-of-the-art polymer membranes with similar selectivity.

Dual-recombinase lineage tracing further demonstrates that embryonic Gcg + Ins + cells resolve into monohormonal α-cells. Applying these insights, the scarcity of bihormonal cells in diabetic mouse models is confirmed, suggesting a limited role in β-cell regeneration.

  @article{ , abstract = {Due to the absence of effective biomarkers, the precision therapy of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) still faces challenge. TP53 is one of the most frequently mutated genes in human cancers including HNSCC. Although studies on the regulation of TP53 gene and p53 protein have been extensively explored, the association of TP53-derived circRNAs with HNSCC progression, along with their regulatory mechanisms, remains unknown. This study identifies a novel circRNA derived from TP53 (circTP53), which is upregulated in HNSCC and associated with poor prognosis. It is demonstrated that circTP53 promotes HNSCC progression in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, circTP53 interacts with the deubiquitinase USP10, leading to their mutual stabilization, which enhances USP10's deubiquitinating activity on p53, thereby stabilizing p53. Interaction analysis reveals that intron 9 of circTP53 interacts with 100–399AA of USP10. In tumor cells with wild-type p53, circTP53 suppresses cell viability and inhibits the growth of xenograft tumors, while in tumor cells harboring mutant p53, circTP53 demonstrates the opposite effect, enhancing cell viability and promoting xenograft tumor progression.

First, a putative electron transfer pathway (ETP) is identified using virtual computing and evolved based on a genetically encoded serotonin RNA biosensor. Subsequently, an intermediate site strategy is developed to shorten the electron-hopping steps and distance in the ETP of CPR for enhancing the electron transfer rate. Next, the heme-binding domain is engineered to reduce the distance between heme-Fe and the substrate channel terminal in T5H for improving the electron-receiving rate.

  @article{ , abstract = {PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), a novel category of small non-coding RNAs, are widely expressed in eukaryotes and deregulated in several pathologies, including cancer. Little is known about their function and mechanism in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progression. Herein, a down-regulated piRNA in RCC, termed piR-hsa-28489 (designated as piR-RCC), is identified to impede RCC progression both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, piR-RCC directly interacts with Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX-1), thus impeding p-AKT-mediated YBX-1 phosphorylation and its subsequent nuclear translocation. Moreover, YBX-1 coordinates the transcription of ETS homologous factor (EHF) as a repressor factor. Consequently, piR-RCC enhances EHF expression, leading to the inhibition of RCC proliferation and metastasis. Based on these, a biomimetic nanoparticle platform is constructed to achieve RCC-specific targeted delivery of piR-RCC.

This study utilized single-cell RNA sequencing on 19 surgical tissue specimens from 15 patients, including four para-tumor tissues, four non-progressive PTMCs, five progressive PTMCs, and six progressive PTCs. Key findings are corroborated through in vivo and in vitro experiments. Single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics characterized the cellular ecosystem within PTC, revealing multi-directional evolutionary patterns as PTMC progresses.

Postnatally, AP + PeSCs exhibit reduced activity compared to their embryonic counterparts, with EGR1 recognized as a crucial factor for their activation. Upon activation, these cells effectively facilitate the repair of craniofacial bone injuries. EGR1 regulates PeSCs development by modulating BMP signaling through its Znf2 domain and activating these cells via the CTNNB1/WNT10B pathway through its Znf2/3 domains in response to injury. The validation of the findings using human cranial periosteal samples from various developmental stages (embryonic and adult) further supports the results obtained from large animal experiments, providing a solid scientific foundation for the clinical application of AP + cranial periosteal stem cells.

Herein, an invert-structured solar evaporation and vapor condensation device coupled with solar evaporators featuring special vertically aligned vapor diffusion channels is designed to target both high evaporation and water collection rates. Graphene oxides, carbon dots, and MXene are used to construct sophisticated nanostructure to effectively confine the thermal energy in the structure for water evaporation. The vertical channels in the evaporators allow downward vapor transportation for condensation. The bottom condenser, made of highly thermal-conductive materials with hydrophobic coating, is cooled by bulk water underneath, accelerating the dropwise condensation processes. In addition, since vapor is pushed downward, light absorption on the top evaporation surface is not declined. Both top and bottom evaporation surfaces are activated for water evaporation.

This approach utilizes automated data collection and processing to capture distinct structural substates from a large number of microcrystals, offering a deeper understanding of ion channel mechanisms. From a subset of NaK structures, consistent sodium binding at specific sites is observed. In contrast, NaK2CNG appears more dynamic and undergoes dilation of the selectivity filter upon potassium binding. Further, the conduction state of NaK2CNG appears to be influenced by channel gating. Comparative analysis of these structures suggests that plasticity of the selectivity filter may contribute to the non-selectivity of these channels, potentially allowing dynamic control over ion passage.

Excessive macrophage infiltration in the TME, particularly in the presence of CMTM4, is strongly associated with poor prognosis. Within the TME, exosomal CMTM4 is actively internalized by macrophages, promoting M2 polarization and subsequently initiating immunosuppressive signaling. Exosomal CMTM4 activates the NF-κB pathway in TAMs, suppressing immune function through enhanced secretion of cytokines, including TGF-β1 and CXCL12, while simultaneously upregulating intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) expression to further promote M2 polarization and facilitate cancer metastasis.

Notably, eltrombopag is identified as a CMTM4 inhibitor that attenuates OC progression in vivo and modulates the tumor immune microenvironment, synergizing with PD-1 blockade immunotherapy to enhance therapeutic efficacy. The exosomal CMTM4—ICAM1—CD206 axis exacerbates disease risk in patients with OC.

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer treatment. However, the development of ferroptosis resistance limits the efficacy of such treatments. This study reports that phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase 1 alpha (PIP5K1A) promotes HCC tumorigenesis and predicts poor prognosis in HCC patients. Knockdown of PIP5K1A enhances lipid peroxidation and increases sensitivity to sorafenib-induced ferroptosis by inhibiting the activation of downstream ferroptosis-related genes regulated by nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2). Mechanistically, PIP5K1A competitively binds to the Kelch domain of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 in a kinase-independent manner, leading to NRF2 escaping from ubiquitination degradation, thereby promoting NRF2-dependent transcription and suppressing ferroptosis. Furthermore, ISA-2011B, a PIP5K1A-specific inhibitor, effectively inhibits HCC growth and sensitized HCC cells to sorafenib.

Inspired by the supramolecular self-assembly strategy, two anisotropic supramolecular building units (BiTA18@ β -CD and BiTA18@ γ -CD) are invented based on the host–guest complexation between a benzimidazole-modified bactericidal molecule (BiTA18) and β -/ γ -cyclodextrin ( β -CD/ γ -CD), which self-assemble into nano-sized hexagonal cuboids on the rice microcrystalline matrix. This consequence markedly enhances the retention of bactericidal ingredients on target plants.

  @article{ , abstract = {The integration of ferroelectric nitride Al 1-x Sc x N onto GaN templates can enable enhanced functionality in novel high-power transistors and memory devices.

Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) investigations reveal polar domains and the mechanism of domain propagation upon ferroelectric switching. Atomic resolution imaging suggests that polarization inversion commences by an interfacial switching process in which the monolayer next to the interface already changes its polarization from the as-grown M- to N-polarity. The atomic configurations of this planar polarization discontinuity are identified and systematic changes of the electronic structure are revealed by electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS).

  @article{ , abstract = {Devastating natural disasters are prompting the need for effective early warning systems. The warning systems relying on cables or batteries are much expensive and not suitable for low-lying areas or remote environments. This research proposes a water-triggered sensor that has no energy consumption in dry conditions while becoming activated in the presence of water. The sensor is self-powered by a switchable galvanic battery which is made of two metallic electrodes isolated by an ion-loaded xerogel. When the battery is subjected to a water environment, the rapid hydration of the xerogel arouses the redox reaction between two electrodes, subsequently outputting the electrical power to trigger the sensing system associated with timely signal generation and transmission. To ensure adequate stability and durability against the ambient humidity variation, the battery is sealed with a polymer coat which is inert to the moisture but permeable to water. Since the sensor can be built on a paper base, it is suitable for Miura origami which is beneficial for improving the output power and minimizing the sensor size. Outdoor experiments confirm that the sensor is able to rapidly discriminate floods and warn nearby people and remote-control centers.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Mingqi Zhao and Shanzhi Lyu and Yingchao Ma and Nan Zhang and Yapei Wang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202503815}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {30}, pages = {e03815}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Cisplatin-based induction chemotherapy (IC) improves survival in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). However, ≈30% of patients with LANPC receiving IC develop chemoresistance, and 20% experience disease progression. The relation between chemoresistance and Dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase-1 (DDAH1) in NPC has not been mentioned in previous studies. To explore the regulatory mechanism and biological function of DDAH1 in cisplatin chemoresistance, NPC cell lines are subjected to overexpression and knockdown of DDAH1 in vitro, with findings further corroborated by in vivo chemosensitivity assays. The predictive value of DDAH1 expression is evaluated for survival and resistance to cisplatin-based IC in a cohort of 339 patients with LANPC. Overexpression of DDAH1 in NPC cell lines increases cisplatin resistance both in vitro and in vivo through binding to the intracellular domain of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), enhancing its dimerization and phosphorylation, thereby promoting the activation of the JAK2-STAT3 pathway, which is dependent on EGFR and extracellular ligands and can be weakened by nimotuzumab. Clinically, DDAH1 positivity correlates with unfavorable 3-year survivals.

  @article{ , abstract = {Cisplatin-induced ototoxicity remains a clinical dilemma with limited mechanistic understanding and no food and drug administration (FDA)-approved therapies. Despite emerging roles of small extracellular vesicles (sEV) in drug ototoxicity, their molecular cargo profiles and causal roles to cisplatin-induced ototoxicity are unexplored. This study systematically investigates sEV derived from cochlear explants treated with cisplatin (Cis-sEV) and controls (Ctrl-sEV) using multi-omics profiling. Through small RNA sequencing, 83 differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) are identified in Cis-sEV compared to Ctrl-sEV. Notably, mmu-miR-34a-5p, mmu-miR-140-5p, mmu-miR-15b-5p, mmu-miR-25-3p, and mmu-miR-339-5p are significantly upregulation in Cis-sEVs. Predicted target pathways of these differentially expressed miRNAs are enriched in apoptosis, inflammation, and cellular damage, indicating their potential involvement in cisplatin-induced cochlear damage. LC-MS/MS analysis reveals 90 upregulated and 150 downregulated proteins in Cis-sEV, with many involved in damage response. Specifically, CLTC, CCT2, ANXA6, and HSPA8 are uniquely upregulated proteins in Cis-sEV, and CLTC and ANXA6 are exclusively co-localized in hair cells (HCs) post-cisplatin exposure, suggesting that Cis-sEV originate primarily from damaged HCs. Moreover, CLTC in sEV may serve as a potential biomarker for cisplatin-induced ototoxicity as verified in both in vitro and in vivo models.

The strength–ductility trade-off of duplex Ti alloys is further amplified by interstitial atoms-poisoning effects (e.g., N and O). Here, by selecting N atoms with the strongest hardening ability in Ti alloys, a counterintuitive strategy is proposed that harnesses bifunctional N-dislocation interactions in a model duplex Ti–Cr–Zr–Al alloy to construct a heterogeneous lamella structure, involving the elongated α p grains decorated with N-rich low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) and densely coherent interstitial-N α′-nanotwinned martensites in β-grains. This structural heterogeneity achieves extremely high yield/tensile strength of ≈1532/1869 MPa in our alloys, which in turn promotes the emission of massive < c + a > dislocations from N-rich LAGBs and coherent interfaces through stress-activated bow-out and cross-slip processes for relatively large ε u ≈10.2%.

In particular, a wind-driven nano-oil-barrier-based fluttering triboelectric nanogenerator (NF-TENG) is developed. The nano-oil barrier (of nanoscale thickness) of NF-TENG is thoroughly analyzed using atomic force microscopy imaging and electrical-mechanical measurement/calculation results.

The mechanism of NF-TENG and its differences from previous studies are established. NF-TENG is optimized and studied for various design variables and wind speeds. NF-TENG generated a peak power of 468 µW with 100 Hz and an average power of 166 µW at optimum load resistance, under a breeze wind speed of 6 m s −1 .

  @article{ , abstract = {FAT atypical cadherin 1 ( FAT1 ) is one of the most frequently mutated genes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), exhibiting the highest mutation rate across different tumor types. Although FAT1's role has attracted considerable attention, its impact on cancer metabolism and treatment resistance remains poorly understood. In this study, it is demonstrated that knockout of mutant FAT1 in HNSCC cells attenuates CPT1A-driven fatty acid oxidation (FAO) through downregulation of the transcription factor ASCL2, leading to marked suppression of tumor growth. Notably, FAT1 -mutant HNSCC cells exhibit resistance to the TCA cycle inhibitor CPI-613 through activation of CPT1A-mediated FAO, whereas genetic ablation of mutant FAT1 restores sensitivity to CPI-613. To achieve in vivo depletion of FAT1 , LNP-sgFAT1 is developed, a novel lipid nanoparticle (LNP) system encapsulating Cas9 mRNA and FAT1 -targeting sgRNA. In murine models bearing FAT1 -mutant head and neck tumors, LNP-sgFAT1 demonstrated enhanced antitumor activity when combined with CPI-613.

  @article{ , abstract = {The generation of mature oocytes, a cornerstone of reproduction, relies on the coordinated interactions between oocytes and surrounding follicular somatic cells. Central to this process is the bidirectional communication between the oocyte and granulosa cells, mediated by oocyte-secreted factors (OSFs), including GDF9 and BMP15. While GDF9 and BMP15 are well-established regulators of oocyte and follicle development, the role of additional OSFs and their coordination with GDF9 and BMP15 remains largely unclear. Here, RSPO2 is identified as a key OSF that coordinates with the GDF9:BMP15 heterodimer to regulate granulosa cell development and enhance oocyte competence. RSPO2, primarily expressed in oocytes, interacts with GDF9:BMP15 to preserve transcriptomic integrity in preantral granulosa cells. This coordination is gene-specific, exhibiting either synergistic or antagonistic effects depending on the target genes, and involves crosstalk between CTNNB1- and SMAD2-dependent pathways. Conditional knockout of Rspo2 in oocytes causes severe defects in granulosa cell and oocyte development, leading to subfertility and earlier reproductive lifespan termination. Transcriptomic analysis shows that RSPO2 loss disrupts key granulosa cell genes (e.g., Amh, Ccnd2, Inhbb, Kitl ) and compromises oocyte mitochondrial function, reducing developmental competence.

Here, a novel regulatory axis centered on a MADS-box transcription factor (TF) OsMADS47 for controlling rice grain shape is reported.

OsMADS47 acts downstream of the OsMKKK10-OsMKK4-OsMPK6 cascade and can be phosphorylated by OsMPK6. Phosphorylation stabilizes OsMADS47 and enhances its transcriptional repression activities on target genes GS3 and GW8 , two well-known grain shape regulators.

  @article{ , abstract = {Natural microbes coexist in a diverse species population with competition for space and nutrient resources. However, the molecular mechanisms underpinning the regulatory networks of microbes among themselves and with their host are still in infancy. Here, it is reported that Drosophila and the commensal Lactiplantibacillus plantarum form an alliance to compete with the pathogenic Serratia marcescens using the integrated three-species model system. In the dual-species model, larvae diminish the L. plantarum population, but reversibly increase lactate production through altering its transcriptional reprogramming. In the tripartite-species model, larvae facilitate the growth of L. plantarum that confers colonization resistance against S. marcescens . On the other hand, S. marcescens launches sophisticated arms race strategies to impair colonization resistance by sensing lactate derived from L. plantarum . More importantly, the S. marcescens population challenged with Drosophila and L. plantarum adaptively diverge into virulent and reduced virulence subclusters with an increase in resistance heterogeneity. To form the alliance with Drosophila , heterogeneity in lactate generation is broadened among L. plantarum subpopulations. Altogether, these findings provide an insight into the host-commensal-pathogen symbiosis at both bulk and single-cell resolutions, advancing fundamental concepts of precise manipulation of bacterial communities.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Sheng Zhang and Ziguang Wang and Anqi Liu and Jinshu Li and Jingjing Zhuang and Xiaowen Ji and Paul I.

Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of ACSS2 dramatically impairs mouse intestinal barrier integrity and exacerbates colitis. Mechanistically, ACSS2-mediated histone H4 lysine 12 crotonylation (H4K12cr) upregulates CLDN7 expression to fortify intestinal epithelial barrier, which can be augmented by crotonate supplementation.

For the first time, it is found that the CWs extracted from Pg has intrinsic peroxidase (POD)-mimicking and sonodynamic activities owing to the presence of µ-oxo bisheme. In this study, the CWs of Pg are nanofabricated to form the CW vesicles (CWV) containing a large amount of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and further encapsulated doxorubicin (DOX) to prepare DOX-loaded CWV (DOX@CWV), hoping to eradicate cancer by combining sonodynamic therapy (SDT), chemotherapy, and bacterial immunotherapy. The results confirmed that DOX@CWV can catalyze the conversion of H 2 O 2 into O 2 and consume the reduced glutathione (GSH), and thus greatly boost their own sonodynamic performance upon ultrasonic irradiation. Both in vitro and in vivo, DOX@CWV efficiently inhibited cancer growth by combining SDT and chemotherapy, and also exerted synergistic anticancer immune effects of bacterial immunotherapy and SDT.

To counteract this, the advanced microparticles (MPs)-based delivery system is selected to encapsulate γGC. The resulting γGC-MPs displayed the same porous and spiky morphology as their substrate's natural pollens, resulting in improved intestinal adhesion and enhanced lesion contact of γGC-MPs. Our results demonstrated that exogenous γGC supplementation could inhibit macrophage M1 polarization by restraining ferroptosis, as well as suppressing the PI3K/AKT pathway and TNF signaling pathway.

  @article{ , abstract = {Defecation, a fundamental physiological process, remains underexplored despite its importance in human health. To address this gap, a smart toilet system is developed that enables real-time monitoring of defecation behaviors. Analyzing 45 defecation events from 11 participants, key defecation parameters are identified, including stool dropping duration, stool thickness, and eu-tenesmus interval. Stool dropping duration follows a log-normal distribution, with longer durations (>5 s) linked to lower Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) scores, suggesting constipation ( p = 0.008 for BSFS1/2/3 vs BSFS5/6/7). Stool thickness decreases with increasing BSFS scores ( p = 5 × 10⁻⁶ for BSFS1/2/3 vs BSFS5/6/7), validating its role as an objective marker for bowel function. Eu-tenesmus is introduced, defined as the interval between the last stool drop and cleansing, averaging 74.8 s. It shows significant gender differences ( p = 0.014) but no correlation with stool consistency, suggesting its potential as an independent biomarker for gut health. Defecation behaviors between humans and animals is also compared in detail. Longitudinal monitoring demonstrates the potential for personalized health tracking and dietary recommendations.

Among the various types of microneedles, hydrogel-forming microneedles (HFMs) demonstrate distinct advantages in terms of high-dose drug loading and biocompatibility.

Herein, a high-strength HFM patch with pH-responsiveness for post-drug loading and long-term release is developed based on acrylonitrile-acrylic acid copolymer. The dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding interactions formed through gradient solvent replacement are evenly distributed within the cross-linked network, significantly enhancing the mechanical properties of the hydrogel required for epidermal penetration. The prepared hydrogel exhibits a tensile strength of 26 MPa and a Young's modulus of 407 MPa. The microneedles formed from this hydrogel display a single needle mechanical force of 1.18 N. The post-loading mode conferred by pH responsiveness allows the drug to be encapsulated in both the tips and the substrate, acting as a reservoir. Once applied to the skin, the microneedle is activated by body fluids to achieve long-term drug release.

However, the use of a systematic checkpoint scanning strategy has been far from satisfactory, and intrinsic phagocytic activators have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, in vitro phagocytosis assays are performed using primary healthy donor macrophages and breast cancer cells. An equal number of cells are subjected to ribosome profiling, and immune system-specific phagocytic activators are identified.

This system specifically targets colonic microfold cells, enabling direct delivery of BS to the colonic submucosa. Additionally, Rh enhances BS colonization in the submucosa through floral regulation. Studies indicate that Rh-YBS can effectively reach and proliferate within the submucosa in vivo. In a DSS-induced UC mouse model, Rh-YBS stimulates the CGRP-related neural pathway; BS activation in the submucosa leads to increased CGRP secretion, prompting goblet cells to secrete mucus and thereby repairing the mucosa.

While various mechanisms contributing to developmental robustness are identified at the subcellular level, those at the intercellular and tissue level remain underexplored. This question is approached using a well-established in vitro directed differentiation model recapitulating the in vivo development of lung progenitor cells from human embryonic stem cells. An integrated analysis of high-density cell lineage trees (CLTs) and single-cell transcriptomes of differentiating colonies enabled the resolution of known cell types and developmental hierarchies. This dataset showed little support for the contribution of transcriptional memory to developmental robustness. Nevertheless, stable terminal cell type compositions are observed among many subclones, which enhances developmental robustness because the colony can retain a relatively stable composition even if some subclones are abolished by cell death. Furthermore, it is found that many subclones are formed by sub-CLTs resembling each other in terms of both terminal cell type compositions and topological structures. The presence of stereotyped sub-CLTs constitutes a novel basis for developmental robustness.

  @article{ , abstract = {The phenomenon of ferroelectric imprint, characterized by an asymmetric polarization switching behavior, poses significant challenges in the reliability and performance of ultra-low-voltage ferroelectric devices, including MagnetoElectric Spin-Orbit devices, Ferroelectric Random-Access Memory, Ferroelectric Field-Effect Transistors, and Ferroelectric Tunnel Junctions. In this study, the influence of electrode configuration in different device architectures are systematically investigated on their imprint effect. By tuning the work function of La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 (LSMO) electrodes through oxygen pressure during deposition, precise control over the built-in voltage offset (V offset ) in ferroelectric capacitors are demonstrated. This results reveal that higher oxygen pressures increase the work function of LSMO, effectively compensating for V offset and enhancing device stability. Finally, a ferroelectric device with a hybrid bottom electrode of LSMO and SrRuO 3 is optimized to mitigate the imprint effect. The optimal device showcases small coercive voltage of 0.3 V, a minimal V offset of 0.06 V, excellent endurance (electrical cycle up to 10 9 ), and robust zero bias applied polarization retention. These findings provide a practical guideline for electrode design in ferroelectric devices, addressing the imprint effect and improving operational reliability.

  @article{ , abstract = {Magnesium-sulfur (Mg-S) batteries have the advantages of high volumetric energy density, intrinsic safety, and low cost of anode and cathode materials. However, current obstacles that preventing practical applications of Mg-S batteries are reflected in the sluggish reaction kinetics of insulative sulfur cathode, designs of compatible electrolytes, and surface optimization of Mg anode against passivation. Regarding the sulfur cathodes, the inherent low conductivity, high volumetric changes, and polysulfide shuttling always result in depressive capacity and utilization. As known, the Mg 2+ carriers are coordinated with solvents in the electrolyte and need to be desolvated before or during the Mg 2+ participating in the electrochemical reactions. The desolvation steps and the cathodic or anodic redox steps are intercoupled at the electrode/electrolyte interface, which can be regarded as cascade reactions of different pathways. In this review, the efforts to deal with the high-energy-barrier processes including Mg 2+ desolvation, Mg 2+ migration at the interface and in cathode interior, and sulfur conversions are summarized. Importantly, the possible coupling manners between the above processes are highlighted.

  @article{ , abstract = {Cervical cancer possesses high morbidity and mortality rates, and a comprehensive understanding of its molecular underpinnings is essential for advancing clinical management strategies. The innate immune sensor STING, which activates type I interferon signaling, plays a pivotal role in enhancing anti-tumor activity. Despite increased attention to STING's involvement in cervical cancer, the regulatory mechanisms governing its protein homeostasis remain poorly understood. In this study, it is found that the BAG2-STUB1 complex regulates ubiquitin proteasomal degradation of STING, which affects the development of cervical cancer. Mechanistically, BAG2 inhibits ubiquitination of STING and stabilizes it by interacting with STING. Specifically, BAG2 inhibits STUB1 from attaching the K48-linked ubiquitin chains at K338 and K370 of STING by forming a complex with STUB1. Functionally, enhanced BAG2 expression suppresses cervical cancer progression by activating the type I interferon pathway in a STING-dependent manner. Notably, clinical cervical cancer samples revealed a positive correlation between BAG2 and STING levels, with low BAG2 expression is strongly linked to advanced disease and poor prognosis in cervical cancer. Collectively, these findings elucidate the molecular mechanism by which the BAG2-STUB1 complex regulates STING homeostasis, underscoring BAG2's potential as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in cervical cancer.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Shijie Yao and Siming Chen and Anjin Wang and Ziyan Liang and Xuelian Liu and Yang Gao and Hongbing Cai}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202414637}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {29}, pages = {e70005}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Pyruvate carboxylase (PC), a mitochondrial enzyme involved in glucose metabolism, is implicated in various metabolic disorders; however, its role in AS remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the role and mechanism of PC on macrophages in AS. PC is upregulated in macrophages of humans and mice with AS. Myeloid cell-specific PC knockout mice are generated to investigate the effects of PC deletion on atherosclerotic plaque formation. Myeloid cell-specific PC deficiency mitigates high-fat diet-induced atherosclerotic lesions in apolipoprotein E knockout mice and mice injected with adeno-associated virus- PCSK9 DY .

This study explores synthesis and performance evaluations of novel ternary PtNiIr ORR catalysts prepared using seed-mediation at different catalyst loadings and deposited on various carbon support materials. Membrane electrode assembly (MEA) performance evaluations are carried out to assess catalyst activity and stability under operating conditions, revealing better performance and durability for seed-mediated catalysts compared to the non-seed-mediated catalyst used as a reference. The results showed further improved performance and durability of the seed-mediated catalysts on porous carbon than solid carbon, due to the deposition of catalyst nanoparticles inside the carbon pores.

Here, we systematically assessed the influence of distinct cell phase structures on the interpretation of omics features in proliferating cells, and proposed solutions for each omics dataset.

  @article{ , abstract = {Pyroptosis has attracted significant attention for its role in cancer chemotherapy and immunotherapy. However, few drugs have been reported to induce pyroptosis via the Caspase-3/gasdermin E (GSDME) pathway. Herein, three novel Pt IV prodrugs, MRP , DRP , and HRP are rationally designed by conjugating DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor (RG108) and/or histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor (PhB) to the Pt IV center. These prodrugs can be easily reduced to cisplatin ( CDDP ) due to the high glutathione (GSH) levels in tumors, liberating the coordinated ligands. Released RG108 reactivates the GSDME gene and reduces pyroptosis in low GSDME-expressing tumor cells. Meanwhile, PhB-induced chromatin loosening enhances CDDP-DNA binding, which not only increases Caspase-3 expression, but also upregulates GSDME. HRP demonstrates superior ability to suppress tumor growth and metastasis while reducing systemic toxicity compared with CDDP . By reactivating GSDME and loosening chromatin, HRP effectively boosts tumor cell pyroptosis and exhibits the most pronounced anticancer performance. These findings highlight HRP ’s potential as a therapeutic agent for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and offer innovative strategies for combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy.

  @article{ , abstract = {Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising cancer therapy modality by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and triggering immunogenic cell death. However, the therapeutic effect of PDT is strongly limited by tumor hypoxia and immunosuppressive landscape. Herein, a pH-sensitive nanosized covalent–organic polymer (COP), composed of the photosensitizer porphyrin and pyruvate kinase inhibitor vitamin K3 (VK3), is designed to overcome these issues. The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitor WP1066 is further encapsulated into COPs to form a WP1066-loaded COP (TVW). As an inhibitor of pyruvate kinase, VK3 can reduce intracellular oxygen consumption by inhibiting the glycolytic pathway, leading to the alleviation of the tumor hypoxic microenvironment. The relief of tumor hypoxia by VK3 enhances photodynamic cytotoxicity by generating more ROS. Meanwhile, STAT3 acts as a major regulator of PD-L1, a key inhibitor that promotes immune escape. WP1066 effectively inhibits the expression of STAT3 and reduces PD-L1 expression, thereby significantly inhibiting tumor immune escape and enhancing antitumor efficacy in a synergistic manner.

  @article{ , abstract = {Androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSIs) have demonstrated a survival benefit in metastatic prostate cancer. However, patients taking these agents inevitably acquire resistance and even develop neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), in which stage the AR signaling is inactive, and therapies are limited for these lethal cases. Therefore, developing novel treatments independent of the AR signaling pathway is urgently needed. Here it is reported that L14-8, a small molecule is derived and optimized from ezetimibe, a marketed drug primarily used for intestinal cholesterol and phytosterol absorption, significantly suppresses cell growth in advanced prostate cancer by inducing ferroptosis. Mechanistically, L14-8 binds to and promotes the ubiquitin-mediated PLK1 degradation, resulting in an increase of downstream TP53 protein phosphorylation, which is further enriched at the promoter of SAT1 , a well-established ferroptosis inducer, and boosting SAT1 transcription thus triggers ferroptosis-mediated cancer cell death. Importantly, in vivo studies further demonstrate a potent anti-tumor efficacy of L14-8 without obvious toxicity.

  @article{ , abstract = {Neural stem cell therapies hold great promise for improving stroke recovery, but the hostile stroke microenvironment can hinder the initial graft survival. It has long been well documented that the microenvironment evolves over time, making it crucial to identify the optimal transplantation window to maximize therapeutic efficacy. However, it remains uncertain whether acute or delayed local cell transplantations better supports graft viability after stroke. Here, it is shown that delayed intracerebral transplantation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) derived from human induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) at 7 days post stroke significantly enhances graft proliferation and survival, and promotes axonal sprouting, compared to acute transplantation at 1 day post stroke, in a mouse model of large cortical stroke. Using in vivo bioluminescence imaging over a 6-week period post-transplantation, a more than fivefold increase is observed in bioluminescence signal in mice that received delayed NPC therapy, compared to those that underwent acute NPC transplantation. The increased number of cell grafts in mice receiving delayed NPC transplantation is driven by increased proliferation rates early after transplantation, which subsequently declines to similarly low levels in both groups. Notably, it is found that the majority of transplanted NPCs differentiate into neurons after 6 weeks, with no significant differences in the neuron-to-glia ratio between acute and delayed transplantation groups. These findings suggest that delayed NPC transplantation improves early graft survival and proliferation, which could help identify the optimal therapeutic window for maximizing the effectiveness of NPC-based therapies in stroke.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Rebecca Z Weber and Nora H Rentsch and Beatriz Achón Buil and Melanie Generali and Lina R.

Herein, a straightforward strategy is presented to fabricate robust, self-standing carbon hollow fiber electrodes modified with an unsaturated Ni-N 2 coordination structure. This unique hollow fiber electrode configuration effectively enhances the kinetics of CO 2 electro-conversion to CO. Both density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental studies reveal that the Ni-N 2 structure significantly boosts electrocatalytic activity for CO 2 reduction by reducing the energy barrier for the key intermediate COOH* formation. Consequently, the electrode with unsaturated Ni-N 2 coordination realizes a high CO Faradaic efficiency (FE) (>90%) as well as a partial current density of 61 mA cm −2 , much superior to those of saturated Ni-N 4 coordination. In particular, this high performance maintains an exceptional durability for over 100 h, outperforming previously reported carbon supporting electrodes featuring Ni-N-C sites.

  @article{ , abstract = {Neuropathic pain is a multifaceted syndrome posing significant challenges to patient quality of life and healthcare systems. Conventional treatments primarily focus on general pain modulation, which fail to address specific underlying mechanisms, leading to limited efficacy and infinite side effects. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has played a pivotal role in neuro-immune repair, contributing to vasodilation, nociception, and immune modulation following tissue injury. Herein, a bupivacaine-loaded cerium-based metal–organic framework (CUB) is designed to integrate sustained release of analgesia with immunomodulatory and antioxidant capabilities. In vivo models of chronic constriction injury (CCI) have demonstrated that CUB significantly reduced neuroinflammation, promoted M2 microglial polarization, and enhanced myelin regeneration for the prolonged analgesia. Deep mechanism analysis revealed that the designed CUB can significantly elevate TSP-1 expression to activate CGRP signal in modulating the neuro-immune interaction, contributing to the repair process. Notably, the CUB outperformed standalone bupivacaine or cerium nanoparticles in terms of pain relief, motor function recovery, and neuroglial regulation.

A molecular phylogeny-based sequence and structure analysis elucidated the evolutionary trajectory of the DON degrading enzymes. Ancestral sequence reconstruction led to the generation of thermostable evolutionary intermediates of SPG (e.g., Anc216). Molecular modeling and consensus protein design allowed to understand the structure and function relationships and also identify the key conserved mutations that influence catalytic activity and thermostability. Ultimately, a highly active and thermostable SPG (e.g., a quintuple mutant of Anc216 (Anc216_M5)) was constructed from a newly discovered extant SPG enzyme (OR9). The Anc216_M5 exhibited a of 68 °C, which is 16.3 °C higher than that of the wild-type enzyme. Furthermore, the engineered enzyme showed 40% greater DON degrading activity than OR9, which is significantly higher than that of Gr-SPG.

  @article{ , abstract = {Topological chiral antiferromagnets, such as Mn 3 Sn, are emerging as promising materials for next-generation spintronic devices due to their intrinsic transport properties linked to exotic magnetic configurations. Here, it is demonstrated that anisotropic strain in Mn 3 Sn thin films offers a novel approach to manipulate the magnetic ground state, unlocking new functionalities in this material. Anisotropic strain reduces the point group symmetry of the manganese (Mn) Kagome triangles from C 3 v to C 1 , significantly altering the energy landscape of the magnetic states in Mn 3 Sn. This symmetry reduction enables even a tiny in-plane Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction to induce canting of the Mn spins out of the Kagome plane. The modified magnetic ground state introduces a finite scalar spin chirality and results in a significant Berry phase in momentum space. Consequently, a large anomalous Hall effect emerges in the Kagome plane at room temperature - an effect that is absent in the bulk material. Moreover, this twofold degenerate magnetic state enables the creation of multiple-stable, non-volatile anomalous Hall resistance (AHR) memory states. These states are field-stable and can be controlled by thermal-assisted current-induced magnetization switching, requiring modest current densities and small bias fields, thereby offering a compelling new functionality in Mn 3 Sn for spintronic applications.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Debjoty Paul and Shivesh Yadav and Shikhar Gupta and Bikash Patra and Nilesh Kulkarni and Debashis Mondal and Kaushal Gavankar and Sourav K.

The highly accessible single Cu sites confined in the COFs significantly contribute to the raid and concentrated energy release of AP, yielding a sharply narrowed decomposition peak at 341.3 °C with a peak width of only 9 °C. This performance is markedly superior to the dispersed exothermic process of raw AP (410.3 °C with a peak width of 30 °C). Additionally, the energetic COF promoter considerably increased the output energy via collaboratively promoting the chemical energy release of AP and its own decomposition. Correlating in situ spectroscopies and theoretical calculations reveals that the incorporated anionic groups effectively modulate the local electronic structure of the Cu sites.

  @article{ , abstract = {Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) accounts for 5–15% of acute myeloid leukemia cases. It is typically characterized by the (15;17) chromosomal translocation, producing the pathogenic retinoic acid receptor (RAR) alpha/promyelocytic leukemia (PML) fusion protein. Recently, remission of APL has been achieved using the first chemotherapy-independent oral drug regimen in anticancer therapy, consisting of all-trans retinoic acid (targeting RARalpha) and the arsenic sulfide realgar (targeting PML). However, clinical adoption of realgar and the characterization of its active breakdown products have been hampered by its poor solubility. Here, a scalable pH/temperature-based process is described that partially mimics gut transition, achieving fast and reproducible solubilization of realgar. Six different spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques are employed to investigate solubilized realgar. Furthermore, it is shown that solubilized realgar targets PML, displaying wider in vitro therapeutic indices and lower off-target effects than arsenic trioxide, the current APL standard of care. Moreover, in line with evidence of an interplay between PML and HIV persistence, solubilized realgar can disrupt HIV latency, the main barrier to an HIV/AIDS cure, in CD4 T cells of people living with HIV.

Yet, the roles of eosinophils in TMJOA remain unclear, underscoring the need for further investigation into their potential impact and mechanism. Addressing the clinical observation that eosinophil numbers in synovial fluid are higher in healthy individuals than in those with TMJOA, the vital regulation of this cell population in TMJOA by using an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced hyper-eosinophilia asthma rats is explored and a rat model of antibody-mediated eosinophil depletion in vivo, and co-culture system of synovial fibroblasts, chondrocytes, and eosinophils in vitro.

Conversely, the reduction in synovial eosinophils exacerbated TMJOA in rats treated with TRFK. Mechanistically, the protective effect of eosinophils against TMJOA is attributed to their promotion of Lumican secretion in the synovium, where Lumican binds to Annexin A1 in chondrocytes, inhibits transforming growth factor β2 Annexin A1 and Smad2/3 phosphorylation.

At 12 months post-treatment, the vestibular function is assessed using the vestibular-ocular reflexes (VOR) and single vestibular afferent recordings. The GT treatment significantly restored both the canal and otolith VORs and increased vestibular afferent spontaneous firing rates and responses to head rotation and translation. These findings provide the first evidence of long-lasting restoration of both the auditory and vestibular functions by GT in a novel mouse model of Usher syndrome, highlighting the potential of GT for treating deficits associated with USH1C.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Weinan Du and Jun Huang and Aizhen Zhang and Fangfang Zhao and Tianwen Chen and Quinn M.

  @article{ , abstract = {Noise-induced synaptopathy and relevant hidden hearing loss (NIS and NIHHL) have been a hot topic in hearing research for almost 15 years. The progress is summarized in this review to address the reversibility of the synaptic damage after the initial loss, and the role of functional deficit in the repaired synapses as the reason for hearing impairment in addition to the deafferentiation caused by the synaptic loss, per se. The evidence supporting the synaptic repair is summarized. It is pointed out that coding-in-noise deficit (CIND) may not be the major problem of NIS and NIHHL, since solid evidence supporting the existence of this deficit is not available even in animal studies, as well as in in human reports. Rather, temporal processing deficits are clearly demonstrated in subjects with NIS and potentially NIHHL. The idea of CIND as the major concern in NIHHL is proposed based upon the functional categorization of the auditory nerve (ANF) by spontaneous rate and the biased loss of the ribbon synapses innervation the low-SR ANF. The limitation of this hypothesis is discussed in detail.

This repository comprises 5 983 613 variants across 201 HL genes, revealing the genetic landscape of HL and identifying six novel mutational hotspots within the DNA-binding domains of transcription factors. Comparative phenotypic analyses highlighted considerable disparities between human and mouse models. Among the 201 human HL genes, 133 exhibit hearing abnormalities in mice; 35 have been tested in mice without exhibiting a hearing loss phenotype; and 33 lack auditory testing data. Moreover, gene expression analyses in the cochleae of mice, humans, and rhesus macaques demonstrated a notable correlation (R 2 0.718–0.752). Utilizing gene expression, function, pathway, and phenotype data, a SMOTE-Random Forest model identified 18 candidate HL genes, including TBX2 , newly confirmed as an HL gene.

Recently, AAV-mediated gene therapy in the inner ear has progressed from laboratory use to clinical trials, but the lower transduction rates in outer hair cells (OHCs) in the organ of Corti and in vestibular hair cells in adult mice still pose a challenge. OHCs are particularly vulnerable to inner ear insults. In this study, we demonstrated that expression of a key AAV receptor (AAVR, Kiaa0319l , or Au040320 ) in OHCs and vestibular hair cells decreases significantly in mature mice and AAV particles directly interact with AAVR by forming complexes. Consequently, antibody blockage of AAVR significantly inhibits AAV transduction in sensory hair cells in cochlear explants. Moreover, use of AAVR knockout mice confirms inhibition of AAV transduction in sensory hair cells in vivo. Finally, conditional overexpression of AAVR in sensory hair cells of adult mice successfully restores AAV transduction efficiency in OHCs and vestibular hair cells.

PDG significantly increases cell viability and inhibits reactive oxygen species production and ferroptosis in cisplatin-treated House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 cells and basilar membranes. PDG partially restores hearing loss caused by cisplatin. Transcriptome sequencing identifies Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 1 (SOCS1), which is significantly elevated in the cisplatin-only group but significantly reduced after PDG application. SOCS1 is a ferroptosis-promoting factor, and knocking it down significantly inhibits nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4) and inhibits ferritinophagy. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that knocking down SOCS1 reduces the number of autophagic lysosomes induced by cisplatin. Co-immunoprecipitation is performed to confirm the interaction between SOCS1 and NCOA4.

  @article{ , abstract = {Triply periodic hyperbolic surfaces (TPHSs) have attracted significant attention due to their exceptional lightweight and mechanical properties, which surpass those of other lattice structures. These advantages are primarily attributed to their unique periodic geometries and saddle-shaped surface configurations. However, current structural design methods mainly rely on narrowband forward or multivariable inverse design strategies, which greatly limits the structural diversity and tunability of TPHSs, thereby hindering their further advancements in engineering applications. Herein, a hierarchical design method inspired by crystallographic Fourier synthesis is proposed, enabling the construction of arbitrary complex structures and the regulation of mechanical properties in multiple ways. By utilizing this approach, any structural types of TPHSs, including the most appealing primitive, gyroid, diamond-like surfaces and their structural variants, are additively manufactured. This method enables precise manipulation of fine structural features to optimize 3D stress fields, significantly enhancing overall stiffness and strength. Moreover, this method facilitates the design of unbalanced TPHSs with rod-like characteristics, enabling structural assembly through mortise-tenon joints, which greatly expands the construction methodologies for such structures. This research substantially extends the design space of TPHS-based structures and paves the way for their widespread application in advanced engineering contexts.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yanhong Zhang and Junming Zhang and Zhimei Zhou and Yan Li and Shunai Che and Weidong Yang and Lu Han}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202503694}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {8}, number = {29}, pages = {70028}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Patients with AFPGC are at high risk of liver metastasis, and the tumor microenvironment (TME) is complex. A multicenter retrospective study is conducted from January 2011 to December 2021 and included 317 AFPGC patients. Using a multivariable logistic regression model, a nomogram for predicting liver metastasis is built. By combining AFP and the neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), we developed a novel and easily applicable predictive indicator, termed ANLiM score, for liver metastasis in AFPGC. An integrated multi-omics analysis, including whole-exome sequencing and proteomic analysis, is conducted and revealed an immunosuppressive TME in AFPGC with liver metastasis. Single-cell RNA sequencing and multiplex immunofluorescence identified the potential roles of tumor-associated neutrophils and tertiary lymphoid structures in shaping the immune microenvironment. These findings are validated in a real-world cohort receiving anti-programmed cell death 1 (anti-PD-1) therapy, which showed concordant effectiveness. In addition, the ANLiM score is also identified as a promising biomarker for predicting immunotherapy efficacy.

  @article{ , abstract = {The erratic nature of chaotic behavior is thought to erode the stability of periodic behavior, including topological oscillations. However, it is discovered that in the presence of chaos, non-trivial topology not only endures but also provides robust protection to chaotic dynamics within a topological lattice hosting non-linear oscillators. Despite the difficulty in defining topological invariants in non-linear settings, non-trivial topological robustness still persists in the parametric state of chaotic boundary oscillations. This interplay between chaos and topology is demonstrated by incorporating chaotic Chua's circuits into a topological Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) circuit. By extrapolating from the linear limit to deep into the non-linear regime, it is found that distinctive correlations in the bulk and edge scroll dynamics effectively capture the topological origin of the protected chaos.

Janus cellulose nanomaterials, a product of nanotechnology, have attracted significant attention. This article aims to address the current lack of fundamental mechanistic understanding in Janus cellulose by investigating the intrinsic relationship between structural design and functional performance. Specifically, it begins by elucidating the construction principles of Janus cellulose nanomaterials, with a particular focus on how their asymmetric architectures impart anisotropic physicochemical properties, such as interfacial tension modulation, directional interactions, and selective transport. By integrating multiscale modeling approaches—including molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations—the underlying interfacial behaviors and assembly pathways are revealed, providing theoretical insight into their conformational stability and dynamic response mechanisms. It also explores how surface functionalization and selective chemical modification strategies can be leveraged to finetune hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity balance and interfacial activity, thereby enabling precise control over Janus cellulose interface configuration and functional attributes. On this basis, it further examines non-covalent driving forces—including electrostatic interactions, van der Waals forces, and hydrogen bonding—within the self-assembly process, and systematically maps the relationship between assembly conditions and structural evolution.

The sensorineural cells required for human hearing—located within the cochlea—are just 10–50 µm, placing them outside the resolution of magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and positron emission tomography. These cells are highly mechano- and chemo-sensitive, and their death or dysfunction underlie the vast majority of hearing loss. Further, the cochlea is only 4–7 mm in diameter, has complex anatomy, and is deeply embedded in bone. Cochlear blood flow is partially separated by a blood barrier, limiting access to radiotracers or fluorophores.

Monitoring the bio-distribution and tumor-homing of CAR-T cells in vivo is crucial, as it provides patient-specific data that might inform on treatment success, potential failure, and off-target toxicities. Herein, an Aptamer A3 by Cell-SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) is generated, which can bind with CAR-T cells with nanomolar affinity. After CAR-T cells are injected into Nalm6 xenograft tumor model mice through tail vein, Cy5-labeled A3 is injected into mice for fluorescence time-delay imaging in vivo. The fluorescence signal produced by the Cy5-labeled A3 is accumulated in the tumor area and reached its maximum at day 14. Moreover, A3 could enrich CAR-T cells in mixed cell populations in a traceless way.

  @article{ , abstract = {Primary age-related tauopathy (PART) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) both exhibit 3R/4R hyperphosphorylated tau-positive neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) within the hippocampal–entorhinal system. Notably, PART patients show a higher degree of tau hyperphosphorylation in the entorhinal cortex (EC) than AD, yet the molecular mechanisms driving Aβ-independent tau hyperphosphorylation in PART remain poorly understood. Herein, through transcriptomic profiling of postmortem EC tissues and in vitro and in vivo functional validation, the present study identifies protein arginine methyltransferase 3 (PRMT3) as a critical driver of tau hyperphosphorylation. Mechanistically, PRMT3-mediated tau hyperphosphorylation is dependent on asymmetric dimethylation of histone H4 at arginine 3 (H4R3me2a), which upregulates miR-448. Elevated miR-448 specifically targets and suppresses IGF1R, leading to downstream GSK3β activation and subsequent tau hyperphosphorylation through PI3K/AKT/GSK3β signaling. Treatment with SGC707, a selective PRMT3 inhibitor, effectively reduces tau hyperphosphorylation and demonstrates therapeutic promise for PART and potentially other tauopathies. Collectively, this study defines the PRMT3/H4R3me2a/miR-448 axis as a critical regulatory pathway in tau hyperphosphorylation within PART, underscoring the potential of PRMT3 inhibition as a targeted therapeutic strategy for tauopathies.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Haotian Liu and Xinnan Liu and Fengyuan Tian and Yashuang Chen and Jingying Li and Xue Wang and Wenying Qiu and Xia Wang and Chao Ma and Wei Ge}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202506044}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {28}, pages = {2506044}, shortjournal = {Adv.

In this study, it is found that these iRPE cells are resistant to ferroptosis and further identified phosphoethanolamine/phosphocholine phosphatase 1 (PHOSPHO1) as a critical regulator underlying ferroptosis resistance.

  @article{ , abstract = {Graphene have been considered as the one of the most promising anode materials for the next generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its unique properties compared to that of the commercial available graphite anode. However, the tedious preparation process, high cost and easy aggregation of 2D graphene caused by the strong van der Waals interactions among nanosheets affect the high reversible capacity of graphene for LIBs. Herein, a laser-induced strategy employing bituminous coal as a precursor for the preparation of porous graphene-based materials (LIG-B) is reported. LIG-B exhibits a porous foam-like structure and an enlarged interlayer spacing, which is larger than that of graphene with typical AB stacking. As the anode for LIBs, the LIG-B shows a high specific capacity of 400 mAh g −1 at the current density of 100 mA g −1 , and up to 95.0% of the initial reversible capacity retention after 900 cycles at 100 mA g −1 . This result is higher than that of graphene-based materials such as N-doped rGO (200 mAh g −1 ), N-doped Graphene film (150 mAh g −1 ), and rGO film (80 mAh g −1 ). Most importantly, a high capacity of 220 mAh g −1 can be maintained at 2000 mA g −1 , indicating its superior rate capability.

Here, it is shown that this system exhibits quasi-2D superconductivity, and utilizing the standard in-plane magneto-transport measurements, two-fold anisotropy (a.k.a nematicity) is discovered in longitudinal resistance (R xx ) and critical current (I c ) measurements, even though the system exhibits globally 12-fold symmetry. Then, similar measurements are carried out on a polycrystalline niobium (Nb) thin film, a well-known s-wave elemental superconductor, and a similar two-fold symmetry is found even for this Nb system. This implies either that nematic behavior is ubiquitous or that the in-plane magneto-transport measurement scheme routinely used to detect nematicity, is not a reliable method to probe nematicity. It is shown that the angle-dependent response of vortices in the superconducting regime to the magnetic Lorentz force is very likely the main cause behind the ubiquitous nematic behaviors of this measurement scheme. In other words, this measurement scheme is intrinsically two-fold, and is therefore not suitable to detect the nematicity. Accordingly, all the previous reports of nematicity based on similar measurement practices, reported on various samples, including thin films, bulk crystals, and exfoliated flakes, need to be reinterpreted.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Debarghya Mallick and Hee Taek Yi and Xiaoyu Yuan and Seongshik Oh}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202504430}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {28}, pages = {2504430}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Developing metallic alloys with excellent corrosion resistance is of great significance for ensuring the long-term integrity and reliability of materials in various demanding environments, thereby extending their service life and reducing maintenance costs. However, the corrosion of alloys is a complicated process influenced by many factors, such as composition, structure and surface finishing, and corrosion media. Current evaluations of alloy corrosion resistance involve many steps, which are time-consuming and laborious to explore within a vast compositional space. In this study, 1874 alloys from 8 alloy systems are prepared and characterized using a combinatorial approach. Analyses of the data indicate that corrosion resistance of an alloy is strongly correlated with metal–metal bond strength (ε M–M ) and metal–oxygen bond strength (ε M–O ). Enhanced corrosion resistance can be achieved by alloying elements with high ε M–M and ε M–O . The consideration from interatomic interactions further reveals that adding elements with high ε M–M and ε M–O to a base alloy system actually lowers the critical weight-averaged ε M–M and ε M–O required for corrosion resistance. The ε M–M and ε M–O guided selection of alloying elements is applicable in different alloy systems.

Despite the identification of diverse T6SS effectors targeting eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells, the trans-kingdom T6SS effectors that simultaneously target both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells remain rarely reported. In this study, it is demonstrated that Yersinia pseudotuberculosis ( Yptb ) T6SS secretes a DNase effector, TkeA, which induces apoptosis in host cells. The translocation of TkeA into host cells causes nuclear DNA damage. This, in turn, activates the DNA-sensing cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway. The activation of the cGAS-STING pathway by TkeA subsequently triggers apoptosis in host cells via extrinsic pathways, with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling playing a critical role. Additionally, TkeA enhances bacterial competition by targeting rival bacteria, thereby promoting host colonization. These findings reveal that the transkingdom T6SS effector TkeA executes a “one weapon, two battlefields” strategy, acting as a trans-kingdom effector that enhances interbacterial competition while inducing apoptosis in host cells through the activation of the cGAS-STING-TNF axis.

While the functions of microtubules and microfilaments have been well elucidated, the roles of intermediate filaments and associated proteins remain largely unknown, especially in meiosis. BFSP1 is an intermediate filament protein mainly expressed in the eye lens to play important roles in the development of congenital cataract. Here, we document that BFSP1 functions as a spindle regulator to drive the oocyte asymmetric division. Specifically, we found that BFSP1 distributed on the spindle apparatus during oocyte meiotic maturation. Depletion of BFSP1 resulted in symmetric division of oocytes, accompanied by the formation of elongated spindles at metaphase I and anaphase/telophase I stages. In addition, immunoprecipitation combined with mass spectrometry analysis identified MAP1B, a microtubule-associated protein, as an interacting partner of BFSP1. Depletion or mutation of MAP1B phenocopied the meiotic defects observed in BFSP1-depleted oocytes, and expression of exogenous MAP1B-EGFP in BFSP1-depleted oocytes recovered the spindle length and asymmetric division. We further determined that BFSP1 recruited molecular chaperone HSP90α on the spindle to stabilize MAP1B, thereby controlling the spindle length.

It is demonstrated that the FHFs subfamily plays cardinal roles in several neuropathological diseases, while their involvement in Parkinson's disease (PD) has been so far scarcely investigated. From the publicly available Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets, FHF2 (also known as fibroblast growth factor 13, FGF13 ) alterations are described in PD patients. Fgf13 gene is significantly decreased in several PD mouse models, and its overexpression alleviates the PD-like pathological phenotype. Although FGF13 is highly expressed in neurons, it functions by preventing glia-dependent inflammatory processes. Mechanistically, FGF13 combines mitochondrial proteins such as MCHT2 (a protein localized on the mitochondrial outer membrane), to anchor mitochondria within the cytoplasm. Under PD-related stress, decreased neuronal FGF13 levels induce the release of the damaged mitochondria, which in turn activate microglia and astrocytes, thereby promoting neurodegeneration. Abacavir, an FDA-applied anti-retroviral drug, is identified to prevent excessive gliosis and neuron loss in both glia-neuron co-cultures and PD mouse models by rejuvenating FGF13 signaling.

  @article{ , abstract = {Drug screening of primary tumor cells directly assesses the drug efficacy on specific tumors, promoting personalized cancer treatment. The application of a microfluidic platform has realized drug screening using a limited amount of biopsy samples for cancer precision medicine. However, all the techniques face an inevitable issue of not all the primary tumor cells being cancer cells. Here, a system is introduced that integrates single-cell identification and drug screening on one semiconductor chip so that both drug efficacy on cancer cells and drug toxicity on noncancerous cells can be obtained simultaneously. An integrated circuit is built on the semiconductor chip for single-cell electric impedance sensing (IC-ECIS) of ultra-weak signals for distinguishing cancer cells from noncancerous cells without affecting cell vitality. Single-cell identification is validated using breast, lung, and liver cell lines as well as liver cancer specimens from clinical patients. The accuracy on commercial cell lines is ≈80%, and the diagnostic results of tumor tissues are consistent with clinical pathology results. Drug screening is run on the same chip after single cell identification for dual evaluation of drug efficacy and toxicity in both breast cancer models and clinical liver cancer patients. The on-chip drug screening is confirmed with off-chip counterpart experiments in breast cell lines. The effectiveness or ineffectiveness of a drug screened on the IC-ECIS chip demonstrated consistency in the presence or absence of specific mutations in the drug-related genes determined via exome sequencing of individual liver tumors, validating the method for precision medicine.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Wenhao Hui and Ka-Meng Lei and Yingying Liu and Xinru Huang and Yunlong Zhong and Xiaojun Chen and Mingji Wei and Jie Yan and Ren Shen and Pui-In Mak and Rui P.

  @article{ , abstract = {In ever-increasing numbers, patients are treated with biodegradable magnesium implants. While gas bubbles frequently arise in soft tissue overlying magnesium implants, their biological implications remain uncertain. This study investigates how bubble accumulation and evolution across various biological lengths and time scales influence adjacent tissue and cell behavior in rats. Bubbles accumulate in tissues around magnesium during initial postimplantation days, then fully resorb. Alterations in tissue and cell geometry around bubbles coincide with accumulation of cells, many with macrophage phenotypes, and increased expression of the mechanosensitive ion-channel Piezo1. Using spatially resolved transcriptomics, strong proinflammatory pathway activation is revealed near bubbles with marked expression of the proliferative macrophage marker secreted phosphoprotein 1 ( Spp1 ). Spatial transcriptomics also reveals strong enrichment of cytoskeletal rearrangement genes, demonstrating that cells respond to mechanical cues from bubbles. Notably, both time and bubble–implant distance strongly influence the cellular response. Over time, as bubbles are located farther from the implant, regenerative processes decline, and inflammation predominates. These findings suggest that bubbles from magnesium implant degradation create an intricate local response influencing tissue healing through inflammatory and mechanical pathways.

  @article{ , abstract = {Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a treatment that helps people who are unable to breathe on their own. However, the use of MV leads to the development of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Here, it is found that VILI with endothelial barrier disruption is accompanied by elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mice. NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2, also known as CYBB or gp91phox) is first examined to be the main source of ROS to repress endothelial junction. Besides, 20%-0.5 Hz high cyclic stretch (high CS) significantly increases NOX2 expression and inhibits endothelial junction protein expression. NOX2 activates the downstream Calcium–calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)/ Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling pathway through the regulation of ROS. This pathway is confirmed by high MV stimulation in vivo and high CS in vitro. Of note, quercetin, as an antioxidant, is effective in preventing mechanical stretch-induced endothelial dysfunction by scavenging ROS. Omics data indicated that there is a similar gene expression pattern in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and VILI.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of periodontal tissues treated with M2-EVs uncovered a unique Anxa1 hi neutrophil subpopulation exhibiting pro-reparative properties. This subpopulation is characterized by immaturity and demonstrated osteogenic and angiogenic capabilities in vivo, partially mediated through the secretion of oncostatin M (OSM) signals.

In this research, the concept of partitional semi-random optimization is proposed, which respectively records the structural evolution history in each subregion and evaluates the value. The new concept involves a statistical decision-making procedure, which avoids the repetitive iterations in traditional completely random heuristic optimizations.

  @article{ , abstract = {Nuclear translocation of the transcription regulatory proteins yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) is a critical readout of cellular mechanotransduction. Recent experiments have demonstrated that cells on substrates with well-defined nanotopographies demonstrate mechanoadaptation through a multitude of effects - increased integrin endocytosis as a function of nanopillar curvature, increased local actin assembly on nanopillars but decreased global cytoskeletal stiffness, and enhanced nuclear deformation. How do cells respond to local nanotopographical cues and integrate their responses across multiple length scales? This question is addressed using a biophysical model that incorporates plasma membrane (PM) curvature-dependent endocytosis, PM curvature-sensitive actin assembly, and stretch-induced opening of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) in the nuclear envelope (NE). This model recapitulates lower levels of global cytoskeletal assembly on nanopillar substrates, which can be partially compensated for by local actin assembly and NE indentation, leading to enhanced YAP/TAZ transport through stretched NPCs. Using cell shapes informed by electron micrographs and fluorescence images, the model predicts lamin A and F-actin localization around nanopillars, in agreement with experimental measurements. Finally, simulations predict nuclear accumulation of YAP/TAZ following rupture of the NE and this is validated by experiments. Overall, this study indicates that nanotopography tunes mechanoadaptation through both positive and negative feedback on mechanotransduction.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Emmet A.

  @article{ , abstract = {The DNA-Dependent Protein Kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) acts as a principal executor in the DNA damage response (DDR), mediating the phosphorylation of a broad spectrum of substrates integral to DNA repair and apoptosis. This investigation seeks to discern the possible association and mechanisms linking hyperglycemia-induced ferroptosis and DNA-PKcs in DCM. This data exhibits a substantial activation of DNAPKcs- dependent DDR in mice with streptozotocin-induced DCM. However, deletion of DNA-PKcs in cardiomyocytes notably mitigates DNA damage, enhances heart function and dampens the inflammatory response. Co-IP/MS analysis and subsequent validation experiments demonstrate that DNA-PKcs directly interacts with and phosphorylates YAP1 at Thr226. This phosphorylation event facilitates the nuclear retention of YAP1, where it intensifies the transcription of ferroptosis-associated genes. Knockin mice expressing a nonphosphorylatable T226A YAP1 mutant display decreased ferroptosis, reduced myocardial fibrosis and improved heart function. Taken together, this study unravels that DDR acts as an intracellular stress damage sensor, perceiving hyperglycemic conditions and subsequently transmitting the damage signal to incite ferroptosis through the interplay between DNA-PKcs and YAP1.

Interleukin-10 (IL-10), has been extensively studied, while its receptor, IL-10Rα, has not been widely mentioned in the context of OA. A significant difference is found in the expression of IL-10Rα in synovial macrophages from normal and OA patients, along with a marked increase in the glycolytic activity of synovial macrophages. In IL-10Rα Lysm OA mice, the specific deficiency of IL-10Rα exacerbated the progression of OA. Mechanistically, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is identified as a key transcription factor, and its inhibition significantly weakened the glycolytic process. Additionally, differences in ferroptosis of chondrocytes are observed. After co-culturing the two types of cells in vitro, a significant connection is found between the glycolytic state of synovial macrophages and the ferroptosis of chondrocytes.

This strong synergy between Pt and CoP through interfacial Pt─P─Co bonds optimizes the adsorption of key intermediates for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in a wide pH range from 0 to 14. Furthermore, strong interaction between Pt and CoP accompanied by a delicate structure reduces interfacial charge transfer resistance, creates abundant active sites, and enhances catalyst durability, while facilitating active site exposure and electron/mass transfer during the HER process.

  @article{ , abstract = {The repair of osteoporotic bone defects remains inadequately addressed, primarily due to a disruption in bone homeostasis, characterized by insufficient bone formation and excessive bone resorption. Current research either focuses on promoting bone formation or inhibiting bone resorption, however, the bone repair efficacy of these single-target therapeutic strategies is limited. Herein, a “two-way regulation” bone homeostasis strategy is proposed utilizing piezoelectric composite membranes (DAT/KS), capable of simultaneously regulating osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis, with high piezoelectric performance, good biocompatibility, and excellent degradability, to promote bone regeneration under osteoporotic conditions. The DAT/KS membrane under ultrasound (US) treatment enables the controlled modulation of piezoelectric stimulation and the release of saikosaponin D (SSD), which promotes osteogenic differentiation while simultaneously inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and function, thereby effectively restoring bone homeostasis and enhancing osteoporotic bone repair. Mechanistic insights reveal the promotion of both canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), which determines their osteogenic differentiation fate, and the downregulation of the NF-κB signaling in bone marrow mononuclear macrophages (BMMs).

  @article{ , abstract = {The global automobile market continues to demonstrate robust growth and innovation potential. Vehicles have evolved into complex, technology-intensive platforms, and autonomous vehicles are anticipated to become commonplace in the near future. However, key challenges persist, such as managing excessive energy consumption and ensuring precise object detection. Under intense sunlight, elevated in-vehicle temperatures lead to higher demand for cooling systems, ultimately increasing energy use. Furthermore, autonomous driving necessitates accurate detection of surrounding vehicles. To address these issues, doped ceramic pigments with diverse colors are developed, exhibiting enhanced near-infrared (NIR) reflectance across the solar spectrum, thereby achieving a radiative cooling (RC) effect. In addition, to improve detectability by LiDAR, scattering analyses are performed to investigate how ceramic particles scatter incident light in various directions. The results indicate that although the scattering is not strictly retro-reflective, it strongly redirects the incident wave back toward its source, which is advantageous for LiDAR-based object detection. Consequently, a bi-function ceramic pigment (BFCP) is fabricated with both superior RC performance and heightened LiDAR detectability compared to commercial pigments. Moreover, integrating BFCP with commercial pigments enables anti-counterfeiting strategies, as letters or patterns invisible to the naked eye can be visualized under IR-mode cameras.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Ik Hoon Jeong and Yong-Jun Seo and Jum Soo Hwang and Geun Hyeong Kim and Yeong Jae Kim and Gil Ju Lee}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202503901}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {27}, pages = {2503901}, shortjournal = {Adv.

However, such benefits are often achieved at the expense of either the redox potentials of the conduction and valence bands or the quantum yield due to additional electron–hole recombination across the heterojunction interface. Herein, an atypical type II heterojunction constituted of Au/TiO 2 /MFU-4l is reported that demonstrates outstanding catalytic performance in photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) through tuning up-converting of holes in MFU-4l component raised from full-spectrum solar irradiation. Anchored to the edge of cube MFU-4l with a TiO 2 cover layer, aurum ions (Au + )supported by aurum (Au) nanoparticles enables such a reverse hole-transfer event through leveraging the Ti-O −• -Au +/0 - •− O-Zn potential, which significantly accelerates the hole-dominated oxidative desaturation of C-C intermediates from CO 2 reduction into C═C bond products. The catalyst efficiently converts CO 2 to C 2 H 4 with more than 90% selectivity and a yield of 107.0 µmol g −1 h −1 under simulated sunlight. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments directly observe the holes formed in visible-light excited MFU-4l moiety of Au/TiO 2 /MFU-4l that are fused into TiO 2 component's holes, thereby generating more hydroxyl radicals (•OH) than that TiO 2 is excited alone under ultraviolet (UV) carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) light of the same intensity.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Qin He and Dongge Ma and Yangyang Du and Qiang Huang and Jianfei Ji and Xu Wang and Hongwei Ji and Wanhong Ma and Jincai Zhao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202503336}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {27}, pages = {2503336}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Carbon dots (CDs) are promising fluorescent nanomaterials, however, they are often hindered by aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) in solid-state application because of close π–π stacking interactions. Furthermore, the challenges still exist in the development of CDs-based solid-state fluorescent materials with stable structure and high fluorescence intensity. To address this challenge, a general and robust polymer directed nanoconfined self-assembly strategy is developed, enabling the fabrication of regular morphology, structurally ultra-stable and solid-state fluorescent CDs assemblies using hydrophilic star-liked di-block copolymer unimolecular micelles as templates. The absolute photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of these fluorescent solid-state CD assemblies reaches 21.46%, significantly higher than 0.12% observed in traditional ACQ solid-state CDs. The enhanced solid-state fluorescent property is attributed to the prevention of the π–π stacking of CDs, the restricted movement of surface groups and the suppression of non-radiative transition processes via the polymer directed nanoconfined self-assembly of CDs. The fluorescence intensity of CDs assemblies can also be precisely tuned by adjusting the polymerization time of polymer template. Based on these advantages, the CDs assemblies are employed as luminescent materials in the identification of latent fingerprints (LFP), flexible films and 3D printing functional hydrogels.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jingyi Hao and Wenjie Zhang and Yuying Li and Wenjun Ma and Yueying Zhu and Junle Zhang and Ge Shi and Xiaoguang Qiao and Yanjie He and Zheng Zhao and Xinchang Pang and Ben Zhong Tang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202503317}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {27}, pages = {2503317}, shortjournal = {Adv.

However, does a higher density of active sites necessarily induce enhanced energy storage performance? To verify this issue, we have designed two linear polymers, where TAPT-DHBQ contains an additional pair of active sites (carbonyl groups) compared to TABQ-DHBQ, with theoretical specific capacities of 545.26 and 379.14 mAh g −1 , respectively. Interestingly, the experimental results have deviated with the specific capacities of these polymers being comparable, measuring to be 325 mAh g −1 (TABQ-DHBQ) and 280 mAh g −1 (TAPT-DHBQ). This is attributed to the competition effect between neighboring active sites, which leads to decreased utilization of active sites.

  @article{ , abstract = {Stretchable, soft electronics have high potential for wearable healthcare applications and biointerfacing. One approach to render inherently brittle conductive polymers such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) stretchable are organic plasticizers. However, little is known on how they affect the morphology and in result the electrical properties of conductive thin-films. This study fundamentally explores this relationship using a bilayer model of transfer-printed PEDOT:PSS on stretchable, biocompatible poly(vinyl alcohol) substrates infused with glycerol (15–55 wt.%). The diffusion of the plasticizer leads to a reorganization of PEDOT and PSS, which is investigated using a multicomponent diffusion model. This approach correctly predicts the (plasticizer-dependent) increase in conductivity that followed plasticizer diffusion and is attributed to the reorganization toward more interconnected PEDOT domains. In result, the system shows an improved electrical response to strain as well as crack-free elongation. Simultaneously, the electrical resistance decreases to one-fifth of its initial value, which is attributed to chain-alignment upon strain.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Carla Volkert and Mateusz Brzezinski and Pablo Gomez Argudo and Renan Colucci and Sapun H.

The mechanisms of flaviviruses evade host translational shutoff are largely unknown. Here, it is found that Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) can adopt cap-independent (CI) translation to escape the host translational shutoff. Furthermore, the elements DB2 and sHP-SL within 3′UTR are involved in the regulation of CI translation, which is conserved in the genus Orthoflavivirus . By RNA affinity purification and mass spectrometry analysis, cellular DEAD-box protein 3 (DDX3) and poly(A)-binding protein 1 (PABP1) are identified as key factors in regulating CI translation of JEV via their interactions with DB2 and sHP-SL RNA structures. Mechanistically, it is revealed that DDX3 binds to both 5′UTR and 3′UTR of the JEV genome to establish a closed-loop architecture and recruit eIF4G/eIF4A to form the DDX3/PABP1/eIF4G/eIF4A tetrameric complex via its interaction with PABP1, thereby recruiting the ribosomal 43S preinitiation complex (PIC) to the 5′-end of the JEV genome to start translation. These findings demonstrate a noncanonical translation strategy employed by JEV and further reveal the regulatory roles of DDX3 and PABP1 in this mechanism.

Additionally, the structure of the non-neutralizing monoclonal antibody 2C4 bound to KSHV gB domain IV is resolved. The comparative sequence and structure analyses reveal significant homology in neutralizing epitopes between KSHV and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) gB, indicating a potential pathway for the development of broad-spectrum antiviral strategies. These findings provide a foundation for a deeper understanding of KSHV's infectious mechanism and pave the way for the creation of universal interventions against the human γ-herpesviruses.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xin-Yan Fang and Cong Sun and Chu Xie and Bing-Zhen Cheng and Zheng-Zhou Lu and Ge-Xin Zhao and Sen-Fang Sui and Mu-Sheng Zeng and Zheng Liu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202502231}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {27}, pages = {2502231}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Conduction is dominated by holes along the -axis and by electrons in the -plane of the hexagonal crystal of CrSb. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that DDCP in CrSb arises from a multicarrier mechanism, where electrons and holes living in distinct bands dominate conduction along different crystallographic directions. Furthermore, DFT predicts that DDCP exists within a narrow energy window near the Fermi level and is sensitive to small doping levels. This prediction is experimentally validated by the loss of DDCP in hole-doped Cr 0.98 V 0.02 Sb.

  @article{ , abstract = {Solution-processable organic solar cells (OSCs) represent a promising renewable photovoltaic technology with significant potential for eco-compatible production. While high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) have been achieved in OSCs, scaling this technology for high-throughput manufacturing remains challenging. Key reason lies in the lack of efficient control strategies for the complex and long-duration morphology evolution during high-speed coating process with ecofriendly solvents. Here, a donor-priority rapid aggregation process (DP-RAP) scheme is proposed to solve this issue by adjusting the aggregation kinetics of donor and acceptor components. DP-RAP enables blends with a nanoscale fiber network structure and favorable crystallinity, which contributes to balanced carrier transport and reduced recombination losses. As a result, the PCE is improved from 14.3% (reference) to 17.4% (DP-RAP) for ultra-high speed coated PM6:BTP-eC9 devices in atmosphere, which is one of the highest values for non-halogenated solvent-processed solar cells at coating speeds of 500 mm s −1 . Moreover, the DP-RAP based devices remain a stable PCE of approximately 17.4% across a broad range of coating speeds (20–500 mm s −1 ), illustrating its tolerance to the varied manufacturing conditions.

The electronic structure of candidate KNL semimetal YAuGe is investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and quantum oscillations as well as by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. DFT has revealed that YAuGe hosts KNLs on the Γ-A-L-M plane of the Brillouin zone, that are protected by the time reversal and mirror-inversion symmetries. Through ARPES and quantum oscillations, signatures of hole bands enclosing the Γ point are identified, and the observed splitting of quantum oscillation frequency with angle is attributed to spin-orbit-coupling-induced band splitting away from the KNLs. Furthermore, it is shown that the degeneracy of the nodal lines along the Γ-A line is lifted by the time-reversal-symmetry breaking when the Y is substituted by magnetic R ions ( R = rare earth).

Molecular analysis reveals that patch treatment suppresses stress-induced chromatin opening of the Piezo1 promoter, reversing PIEZO1 elevation and restoring heart contraction gene expression. The patch's therapeutic benefits correlate with the reversal of PIEZO1 elevation is further validated in a porcine model. Notably, constant high expression of endogenous PIEZO1 partially blocks the patch's therapeutic effects, confirming that the mechanism of patch treatment involves reversing PIEZO1 expression, in addition to providing physical support. In conclusion, cardiac patches reduce LV wall stress, preserving cardiac function and geometry by both physically supporting and biologically reversing PIEZO1 expression, highlighting the potential of medical devices in normalizing PIEZO1 expression and treating related diseases.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yuwen Lu and Sibo Jiang and Ting Shen and Yuan Zhang and Chengbin He and Yun Gao and Liyin Shen and Qiao Jin and Yuting Zhao and Ping Liang and Chaochen Wang and Hongjie Hu and Jin He and Kaicheng Deng and Shuo Wang and Yunhe Chen and Jun Ling and Yang Zhu and Lenan Zhuang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202501663}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {27}, pages = {2501663}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Herein, the strategic combination of aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecule creates ACQ@AIE bimolecular systems with tunable optical properties, which are almost unattainable by single-component materials. Through systematic investigation of three ACQ@AIE bimolecular systems, it is established that molecule structure size differentials dictate their intermolecular interactions and consequent optical behaviors. Crucially, AIE molecule with a smaller structure size promotes ACQ molecule clustering to enhance the photothermal effect, while when the size becomes larger, particularly approaching that of ACQ molecule, facilitating π–π stacking and boosting the photodynamic effect. These distinct assembly modes revealed through combined experimental and theoretical analyses, enable precise regulation of photothermal versus photodynamic effects by simply regulating the structure size and ratio of ACQ and AIE molecules. Building on these mechanistic insights, the optimal molecule combination of ACQ@AIE bimolecular system is engineered into nanoparticles that exhibit mild photothermal effect, strong photodynamic effect, and excellent tumor accumulation and retention, achieving near-complete tumor eradication with minimal treatment cycles while maintaining good biosafety.

Modulating host precursor-mRNA AS is a key strategy employed by multiple pathogens to subvert plant immunity. However, the underlying mechanism by which the host splicing factor regulates plant immunity remains poorly understood. Here, a plant-conserved serine/arginine-rich (SR) RNA splicing factor, SR30, which negatively regulates tomato immunity against the infamous Phytophthora infestans ( P. infestans ) is identified. SR30 governs tomato mRNA AS at a genome-wide level and suppresses defense-related genes AS. During P. infestans infection, SR30 is induced to form nuclear condensates via liquid–liquid phase separation driven by intrinsically disordered regions. Importantly, the phase separation property is required for the function of SR30 in disease susceptibility and the regulation of genes AS. Knockout of SR30 via CRISPR/Cas9 improves tomato disease resistance to P. infestans , P. capsici , and P. parasitica by promoting defense genes AS.

Stabilizing its closed state is a key antiviral strategy but remains challenging. Here, we introduce S416, a novel amphipathic molecule acting as a “molecular bolt”. Cryo-EM study reveals that S416 binds concurrently to six sites across two distinct druggable interfaces: three molecules at the RBD-RBD interfaces and three at the NTD-RBD interfaces. This unique “dual-locking” mechanism, driven by S416's polar carboxyl head and nonpolar phenylthiazole tail, robustly stabilizes the spike trimer in a locked, closed conformation through strong inter-domain interactions, reducing structural flexibility and atomic fluctuations compared to the apo structure resolved synchronously. Crucially, these RBD-RBD and NTD-RBD interfaces are conserved across human-infecting coronaviruses, suggesting potential as broad-spectrum antiviral targets.

It is demonstrated that GHCer interacts with the adenosine receptor 2A (A2AR), triggering cyclic AMP (cAMP) and protein kinase A (PKA) signaling.

  @article{ , abstract = {Aberrant activation of the NACHT, LRR, and PYD domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome contributes to the pathogenesis of fatal and perplexing pulmonary diseases. Although pharmacological inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome brings potent therapeutic effects in clinical trials and preclinical models, the molecular chaperones and transition governing its transformation from an auto-suppressed state to an active oligomer remain controversial. Here, this work shows that sesquiterpene bigelovin inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines release via canonical, noncanonical, and alternative pathways at nanomolar ranges. Chemoproteomic target identification discloses that bigelovin covalently bound to Cys168 of RACK1, disrupting the interaction between RACK1 and NLRP3 monomer and thereby suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome oligomerization in vitro and in vivo. Bigelovin treatment significantly alleviates the severity of NLRP3-related pulmonary disorders in murine models, such as LPS-induced ARDS and silicosis.

  @article{ , abstract = {Aberrant EGFR signaling drives non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) development, and despite the success of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies in treating NSCLC, TKI resistance remains a major obstacle. Here, we report that the chemokine-like transmembrane protein CMTM6 is physically associated with EGFR. CMTM6 is shown to be co-localized with EGFR in recycling endosomes that are marked by RAB11, thereby preventing EGFR from lysosome-mediated degradation in NSCLC cells. The level of CMTM6 is elevated in NSCLC, and high expression of CMTM6 is associated with enhanced colocalization of CMTM6 with EGFR and RAB11 in NSCLC tumors and correlated with a poor prognosis in NSCLC patients. A CMTM6-targeting nanobody is developed and administration of this agent leads to blocking of the CMTM6-EGFR interaction, reduction of the EGFR protein level, and inhibition of the proliferation of TKI-resistant NSCLC cells in vitro and suppression of the growth of EGFR-TKI-resistant NSCLC in both cell line-derived xenografts and patient-derived xenograft models.

  @article{ , abstract = {High-intensity low-frequency acoustic sources with directivity play a significant role in various fields such as medical treatment, underwater communication, and environmental monitoring. However, the long wavelengths, strong penetration, and their tendency to easily diffract of low-frequency acoustic waves make it challenging to achieve directional control and intensity enhancement. Thanks to the development of acoustic metamaterials, acoustic devices can now effectively manipulate low-frequency acoustic waves at subwavelength scales with excellent acoustic performance. Currently, the directional control and intensity enhancement of low-frequency acoustic waves mainly concentrate on source design and the modulation of propagation processes. These techniques employ acoustic resonance, focusing, and other phase control methods to achieve energy concentration and directional control of low-frequency acoustic waves. Nevertheless, existing low-frequency acoustic wave control techniques still face issues such as low energy efficiency, poor directional control, and limited controllable bandwidth. This paper systematically reviews methods for achieving high-intensity emission and directional control of low-frequency acoustic waves, comprehensively compares the advantages and disadvantages of various technologies, and discusses how to extend these methods to lower acoustic frequency bands, aiming to provide new insights for the development of miniaturized, efficient, and accurately directional ultra-low frequency acoustic devices.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jingsong Xu and Yunfeng Ye and Tao Dong and Zhaochu Yang and Nuno Miguel Matos Pires and Yu Zhou and Fuyu Tao and Jin Wang and Junshan Zhang and Guoxi Luo and Libo Zhao and Qi Mao and Yangtao Wang and Zhuangde Jiang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202410695}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {27}, pages = {2410695}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Conventional devices lack the adaptability and responsiveness inherent in the design of nature. Therefore, they cannot autonomously maintain themselves in natural environments. This limitation is primarily because of using rigid and fragile material components for their construction, which hinders their ability to adapt and evolve in changing environments. Moreover, they often cannot self-repair after injuries or significant damage. Even devices with self-healing, soft, and responsive properties often fail to seamlessly integrate all these attributes into a single, scalable, and cohesive platform. In this study, a significant breakthrough is introduced by utilizing graphene-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (graphene-PEDOT:PSS) fillers to transform a typically weak, insulating, and jelly-like material into a soft electronic material with properties akin to those of living organisms, such as skin tissue. The developed electronic materials exhibit a range of other capabilities attributed to the hierarchical organization originating from filler enhancement, which includes methods such as heat regulation, 3D printability, and multiplex sensing.

  @article{ , abstract = {Physical exercise protects against cognitive impairment caused by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH). However, the mechanisms through which exercise sends signals from the periphery to the central nervous system remain incompletely understood. This study demonstrated that exercise promotes the secretion of muscle-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), which facilitate interorgan communication between the muscle and the brain. Systematic delivery of muscle-derived sEVs enhances synaptic plasticity and alleviated cognitive impairment in CCH. Notably, miRNA sequencing reveal miR-17/20a-5p as key cargos in sEVs involved in the exercise-induced muscle-brain crosstalk. Muscle-derived sEVs are also identified as the primary source of swimming-induced miR-17/20a-5p in circulating sEVs. Mechanistically, miR-17/20a-5p binds to the DEP-domain containing mTOR-interacting protein (DEPTOR) and activates the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in the hippocampus. Depletion of miR-17/20a-5p from muscle-derived sEVs impairs the exercise-induced enhancement of synaptic plasticity and cognitive function. Moreover, overexpression of DEPTOR in the hippocampus attenuates the cognitive benefits of exercise. Conversely, hippocampus-specific activation of mTOR reverses these effects, highlighting the crucial role of mTOR in mediating the positive effects of exercise.

Dysfunctional E3 ligase activity has recently been shown to be associated with colorectal cancer. However, the key E3 ligases affecting colorectal cancer liver metastasis remain unknown. Therefore, an shRNA library targeting 156 E3 ubiquitin ligases has been used to perform an in vivo loss-of-function screen of a human colorectal cancer cell line in a mouse model of liver metastasis. The screen reveals that neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated gene 4-like (NEDD4L) knockdown promotes colorectal cancer liver metastasis. Mechanistic studies reveal that NEDD4L binds to the PPNAY motif in protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) and ubiquitinates PRMT5 to promote its degradation.

Combining MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq, it is found that MdMTA regulates the m 6 A and expression levels of cold-responsive genes under cold stress, including those involved in reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification and cell wall deposition. Further analysis reveals that MdMTA promotes ROS scavenging and the deposition of cellulose and hemicellulose by regulating the mRNA stability of the relevant genes under cold conditions.

  @article{ , abstract = {Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the metabolic dysfunction of chondrocytes. A promising therapeutic strategy for OA involves suppressing the catabolism of the chondrocyte and promoting its anabolism to restore joint homeostasis. Here, it is demonstrated that Catalpol, a natural compound, can promote chondrocyte anabolic and proliferation, while inhibiting the catabolic activities and oxidative stress, thereby maintaining the dynamic balance of the extracellular matrix and alleviating inflammation-induced cartilage damage. Mechanistically, it has been discovered that Catalpol acts as a direct inhibitor of heat shock protein 90β (Hsp90β), and the amino acids ASP88, THR179, ASP49, and ASN46 of N-terminal domain-Hsp90β are confirmed as the binding sites for Catalpol. Knockdown of Hsp90β in primary chondrocytes demonstrates a similar biological effect as Catalpol treatment.

  @article{ , abstract = {The increasing demand for environmentally benign materials has driven significant interest in water-based adhesives due to their low toxicity and ecological advantages. However, conventional formulations face persistent challenges including limited bonding strength, complex manufacturing processes, and compromised storage stability. To address these limitations, a polyacrylic acid-based aqueous adhesive (PAA) is developed through a novel visible-light catalytic platform. This approach ensures a mild catalytic cycle, thereby promoting sustained stability. The strategic integration of hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and mechanical interlocking enhances interfacial adhesion. Notably, the adhesive demonstrates an adhesion strength of up to 20.86 MPa on wood and 12.91 MPa on bamboo substrates. Its composition confers stability across diverse environmental conditions, including extreme temperature variations (−196 °C–200 °C), prolonged storage (> 270 days), and resistance to mechanical stress and solvent exposure.

Although GABAergic (GABA) neurons in and near the LC (LC-GABA neurons) provide inhibitory synaptic inputs to LC-NA neurons, it remains unknown whether they are implicated in neuropathic pain and comorbid depression through LC-NA neurons. This study demonstrates that LC-GABA neurons respond to noxious stimuli with enhanced activity, and stimulation of these neurons elevates pain thresholds and exerts an anti-depressant-like effect in naive and neuropathic pain mice. Conversely, inhibition of LC-GABA neurons leads to hyperalgesia and depression-like behaviors in naive mice and exacerbates existing pain- and depression-like behaviors in neuropathic pain mice. Although LC-GABA neurons inhibit pain responses in LC-NA neurons, they modulate pain thresholds and depression-like behaviors in a manner independent of LC-NA neurons. In contrast, the projection from LC-GABA neurons to the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) is enhanced, and stimulation of this projection mimics that of LC-GABA neurons conferring analgesic- and antidepressant-like effects.

To address this challenge, a novel approach achieving achromatic 3D multi-color OAM holography using a spatial multiplexing scheme is presented. Specifically, an optically digitalized achromatic OAM-dependent hologram is developed by superposing wavelength-specific lens functions onto monochromatic Fourier OAM-dependent holograms, followed by high-resolution spatial discretization and interleaving via two-photon lithography (TPL).

  @article{ , abstract = {Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the common head and neck cancers in Southern China and Southeast Asia. Although current studies have adequately characterized the tumor microenvironment (TME) of NPC, little attention has been paid to how cell-cell interactions within the TME promote tumorigenesis. In this study, it is found that C1q + tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are significantly enriched in NPC tumors. Moreover, both enriched C1q + TAMs and elevated C1q expression are associated with the progression and poor prognosis in NPC patients. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that C1q directly boosts the malignancy and stemness of tumor cells. Mechanistically, C1q activates the Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway through interacting with GPR17, a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family, thereby inducing DNA hypermethylation of tumor cells to promote tumor development. It is further proved that DNA hypermethylated NPC cells induced by C1q elicited the immunosuppressive phenotype of TAMs. Targeted blockade of C1q with a neutralizing antibody restricts NPC progression in the humanized mouse model.

This strategy significantly shortens the existence time of the transition state CaO*, enabling CaCO 3 to be converted into CaO more rapidly.

Notably, the transition temperatures ( T t, II-III ) exhibit linear dependence on coformer chain length (from C10 to C18), a correlation attributed to interlayer hydrophobic interactions.

  @article{ , abstract = {Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease that causes a gradual deterioration of articular cartilage. A major challenge in OA treatment is the limited penetration and delivery efficiency of drugs to cartilage and chondrocytes due to the rapid clearance of drugs through synovial fluid in joints and the osmotic barrier of the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM). To address this issue, a novel tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA)-based nanomedicine delivery system (tFNA-2WL) is first synthesized with excellent cartilage permeability and perfect chondrocyte endocytosis properties. After being loaded with ginsenoside Rb1 (Gin), the tFNA-2WL&Gin complex not only penetrates the cartilage but also accumulates in the menisci, ligaments, and joint capsules, thus prolonging the residence time of Gin in OA rat knees. In vitro, tFNA-2WL&Gin effectively promotes chondrogenesis, inhibits cartilage degradation by reducing apoptosis, and scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS), outperforming free Gin. In OA rats, tFNA-2WL&Gin restores gait, reduces osteophyte formation, inhibits synovial inflammation and hypertrophy, and protects cartilage from further damage more effectively than Gin and other nanomedicines. These results demonstrate the feasibility of tFNA-2WL in improving the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of drugs and highlight the favorable curative effects of tFNA-2WL&Gin for OA, offering a promising paradigm for translational medicine.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Kui Huang and Qiumei Li and Huixuan Lin and Qian Shen and Yaping Wu and Taoran Tian and Chuan Ma and Sirong Shi and Jingang Xiao and Yunfeng Lin}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202502661}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {26}, pages = {2502661}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Cardiac-specific ablation of Slc25a49 mice are generated by crossing Slc25a49 flox/flox mice with Myh6-Cre mice. Slc25a49 HKO mice or SLC25A49 KD cardiomyocytes is treated with Dox. Echocardiography, histological analysis, transmission electron microscopy, bulk RNA sequencing, cell bioenergetic profiling, metabolomics test, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and dual-luciferase reporter assay are conducted to delineate the phenotype and elucidate the molecular mechanisms. Specific ablation of Slc25a49 in cardiomyocytes leads to exacerbated Dox-induced cardiomyopathy, characterized by compromised mitochondrial respiration enhanced glycolysis and increased glycolytic metabolite glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) levels, subsequently activating the activator protein-1 (AP-1) complex. The stimulation of the G6P–AP-1 axis intensifies myocardial damage via transcriptionally regulating Sarcolipin (Sln) expression. Strikingly, targeting of this axis with the AP-1 inhibitor T-5224 effectively improves survival and enhances cardiac function in Dox-induced cardiomyopathy.

This study investigates how the mechanical interactions between LNPs, target cells, and macrophages affect the internalization of LNPs into target cells at tumor sites. According to our bio-mechanical study, drug-resistant breast cancer cells are stiffer than sensitive ones, while invasive cells are softer; similarly, protumoral M2 macrophages are softer than M1 macrophages. Softer LNPs show increased cellular uptake in breast cancer cells and macrophages, with enhanced engulfment in invasive cells and M2 macrophages. Additionally, the presence of M2 macrophages promotes greater LNP internalization by cancer cells, facilitating the malignant and invasive nature of cancer cells. In addition, because breast cancer cells engulf LNPs via an energy-efficient fusion pathway but LNPs in macrophages undergo clathrin-mediated endocytosis, LNPs are internalized more into cancer cells but not into M2. In orthotopic tumor models, softer LNPs penetrate tumors quickly, enhancing suppression, whereas stiffer LNPs permeate slowly but show prolonged retention in stiffer tumors, supporting antitumor efficacy with repeated dosing.

Here, by leveraging genotype and APA data from The Cancer Genome Atlas, the association between genetic variation and APA is determined in NSCLC samples. The identified apaQTLs are distinct from eQTLs and are preferentially enriched in functionally relevant characteristics, including poly(A) motifs, APA-associated RBP binding sites, functional elements, and known NSCLC risk loci. Moreover, genes associated with apaQTLs are broadly involved in cancer-related biological process. Of note, integration of apaQTL variants with traditional GWAS-derived PRS is proved as a potential screening tool for NSCLC. By integrating large-scale population and biological experiments, a functional apaQTL variant rs9606 in LYRM4 is identified. Mechanistically, rs9606 induces aberrant APA process of LYRM4 via allele-specific interacting with NUDT21, which lead to increased expression of oncogene LYRM4 and thus contribute to NSCLC risk.

Herein, a novel cation-exchange strategy in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent is introduced to synthesize sub-1-nm PbSe NWs, starting from sub-1-nm ZnSe NWs. Theoretical calculations and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements have confirmed that the cation exchange reaction in DMF effectively reduces the barriers for Zn 2+ extraction and Pb 2+ introduction compared to the conventional toluene/methanol system.

The evidence provided for the first time is that the unique THN motif, which is prevalent in class 3 inteins, is essential for achieving high-efficiency traceless C-terminal cleavage. The hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group of Thr 123 and the main chain of His 124 is suggested to be indispensable for stabilizing the THN motif to separate Asp 107 (the limiting factor for C-cleavage) from Asn 125 and the C-extein residues from the active sites, which jointly lead to the highest traceless C-cleavage activity. Both cleavage data and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations results demonstrate that mutating Thr 123 greatly disturbed the THN motif, leading to inactivity.

Particularly, gem -difluoroalkenes serve as versatile precursors for a broad variety of organofluorine compounds, commonly used in agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. Based on the kinetics of H• transfer to acrylamide ( k H = 2.28 × 10 −4 M −1 s −1 at 300 K in toluene), the study describes a nickel-hydride-(or Li[BEt 3 H]) initiated hydrocyclization/defluorination of CF 3 -substituted acrylamides, offering alternative access to 4-fluorovinyl-substituted 2-pyrrolidones (Seletracetam derivatives that are antiepileptic drug candidates). This process proceeds with high yields and remarkable chemo- and regioselectivity. The hydrocyclization/defluorination can be initiated by either H• or H – transfer, followed by a 5-exo-trig cyclization and subsequent fluorine elimination.

However, how spatial pattern formation emerges and how the spatial pattern switches are not fully understood. Here, a landscape-flux field theory is developed using the spatial mode expansion method to uncover the underlying physical mechanism of the pattern formation and switching. The landscape and flux field are identified as the driving force for spatial dynamics and applied this theory to the critical transitions between spatial vegetation patterns in semi-arid ecosystems, revealing that the nonequilibrium flux drives the switchings of spatial patterns. The emergence of pattern switching is revealed through the optimal pathways and how fast this occurs via the speed of pattern switching. Furthermore, both the averaged flux and the entropy production rate exhibit peaks near pattern switching boundaries, revealing dynamical and thermodynamical origins for pattern transitions, and further offering early warning signals for anticipating spatial pattern switching. This work thus reveals physical mechanisms on spatial pattern-switching in semi-arid ecosystems and, more generally, introduces a useful approach for quantifying spatial pattern switching in nonequilibrium systems, which further offers practical applications such as early warning signals for critical transitions of spatial patterns.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jie Su and Wei Wu and Denis D.

The research finds that while a single mild electrical abuse event has a limited effect on battery capacity, the internal electrochemical properties of the battery still change. Mild overcharge reduces the thermal stability of the anode material, and the increased sodium plating on the anode surface also significantly affects the overall safety characteristics of the battery. In contrast, the harm caused by over-discharge is less severe. After long-term electrical abuse cycles, the battery experiences significant capacity degradation, and prolonged overcharge cycles cause further sodium plating, severely affecting battery safety.

  @article{ , abstract = {Manipulation of single cells or particles is crucial in the biomedical field. However, precisely and rapidly manipulating single cells without damaging them is a significant challenge. In this study, a novel strategy for indirect manipulation of cells and microparticles that can satisfy these requirements via a combination of particle-induced dielectrophoretic forces (PiDEP) and optoelectronic tweezers (OET) is developed. This strategy is based primarily on the principle that particles experiencing the same dielectrophoretic forces tend to repel each other, whereas those experiencing different forces are attracted to each other. During the manipulation, Ag-SiO 2 microparticles controlled by the OET act as intermediaries for manipulating other particles or cells through dielectrophoretic forces. Thus, the manipulation range of the OET can be expanded by two to three times its original size, and the manipulation speed can be significantly increased while maintaining its precision. Furthermore, the results indicate that the proposed method can effectively reduce cell damage to one-third of that caused by traditional OET.

Based on the visualization of the magnetic textures through magnetic force microscopy in conjunction with the ab initio calculations of the crystal structure in the magnetic phase and micromagnetic simulations, the origin of the magnetic sub-domains is attributed to stacking faults isolating a van der Waals ferromagnetic well from the bulk film due to modifications in the interlayer exchange coupling.

This investigation reveals a significant downregulation of HIC1 in gastric cancer, correlating with a less favorable prognosis. Overexpression of HIC1 promotes the initiation of cell pyroptosis. Mechanistically, gasdermin D (GSDMD), a pivotal executor of pyroptosis, is identified as a downstream target of HIC1 and activated by HIC1 at the transcriptional level. Subsequent cleavage of the GSDMD N-terminal region punctures the cell membrane, instigating pyroptosis and releasing inflammatory factors. Furthermore, HIC1 augments the infiltration of CD8 + T cells to counteract immune evasion. The combinatorial approach of HIC1 overexpression with PD-L1 antibody demonstrates a synergistic therapeutic impact in treating GC. Additionally, c-Jun activation domain-binding protein 1 (Jab1) mediates the ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of HIC1 at Lys 517 . Ultimately, these findings underscore the potential of HIC1 as a promising immunotherapeutic target for the treatment of GC.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Mengjie Kang and Wenqi Du and Lina Ding and Mengdi Wu and Dongsheng Pei}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202412083}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {26}, pages = {2412083}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Irinotecan (CPT11)-induced diarrhea affects 80–90% of cancer patients due to β-glucuronidase (GUS) converting 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin glucuronide (SN38G) to 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38). It remains unclear whether SN38 impacts the homeostasis between gut microbiota and mucosal stem cell niche. This study explores the crosstalk between gut microbiota and intestinal stem cells (ISCs) in intestinal mucositis triggered by CPT11 chemotherapy. CPT11-treated mice exhibited significant colon shortening, inflammatory infiltration, intestinal barrier dysfunction, and ISC impairment, which correlated with gut dysbiosis, enrichment of GUS-expressing bacteria, and intraluminal SN38 accumulation. In contrast, antidiarrheal (Xianglian pill) treatment alleviated SN38-induced enterotoxicity and reduced GUS-expressing bacterial populations. Microbiome profiling of clinical patients and mucositis mice revealed a strong correlation between CPT11/SN38 enterotoxicity and GUS-expressing bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus reuteri . PLS-PM modeling further linked L. reuteri to impaired epithelial regeneration, which is validated using a 3D intestinal organoid model. L. reuteri hindered ISC differentiation into secretory lineages within the organoids. Furthermore, L. reuteri colonization in mice exacerbated mucositis and disrupted epithelial differentiation, while its elimination ameliorated colitis symptoms and preserved crypt cell stemness. These findings suggest that selectively targeting GUS-expressing bacteria, particularly L. reuteri, to protect the regenerative epithelial stem/progenitor pool may serve as an effective strategy for mitigating CPT11-induced enterotoxicity.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Bei Yue and Ruiyang Gao and Ling Zhao and Donghui Liu and Cheng Lv and Ziyi Wang and Fangbin Ai and Beibei Zhang and Zhilun Yu and Xiaolong Geng and Hao Wang and Kang Wang and Kaixian Chen and Chenghai Liu and Zhengtao Wang and Wei Dou}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202411052}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {26}, pages = {2411052}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) contain abundant circular RNAs (circRNAs) and are involved in cellular processes, particularly hypoxia. However, the process that packaging of circRNAs into neuronal sEVs under hypoxia is unclear. This study revealed the spatial mechanism of the Fused in Sarcoma protein (FUS) that facilitates the loading of functional circRNAs into sEVs in hypoxia neurons. It is found that FUS translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and is more enriched in hypoxic neuronal sEVs than in normal sEVs. Cytoplasmic FUS formed aggregates with the sEVs marker protein CD63 in cytoplasmic stress granules (SGs) under hypoxic stress. Meanwhile, cytoplasmic FUS recruited of functional cytoplasmic circRNAs to SGs. Upon relief of hypoxic stress and degradation of SGs, cytoplasmic FUS is transported with those circRNAs from SGs to sEVs. Validation of FUS knockout dramatically reduced the recruitment of circRNAs from SGs and led to low circRNA loading in sEVs, which is also confirmed by the accumulation of circRNAs in the cytoplasm. Furthermore, it is showed that the FUS Zf_RanBP domain regulates the transport of circRNAs to sEVs by interacting with hypoxic circRNAs in SGs. Overall, these findings have revealed a FUS-mediated transport mechanism of hypoxia-related cytoplasmic circRNAs loaded into sEVs under hypoxic conditions.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jiankun Zang and Yousheng Wu and Xuanlin Su and Kaiwei Cai and Man Ke and Niu He and Huili Zhu and Zefeng Tan and Jielin Zhu and Wensheng He and Min Peng and Shiqing Zhang and Hongcheng Mai and Anding Xu and Dan Lu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202404822}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {26}, pages = {2404822}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Postoperative pain remains a significant challenge in healthcare. Electroacupuncture (EA) has gained polarity in helping manage surgical pain and showed beneficial effects on enhancing postoperative analgesia, decreasing opioid requirement. Despite this, the precise mechanisms underlying these actions are poorly understood. Evidence shows the involvement of noradrenaline (NE) in the action of EA. However, the precise identity of the NE source after EA treatment, its mechanisms of action, and the circuitry locus in the pain-regulating pathway remain elusive. It is shown that plantar incision (PI) leads to hypoactivity of noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus (LC), which brings about impaired NE release in the spinal dorsal horn (SDH). EA treatment normalizes the abnormal hypoexcitability of LC noradrenergic neurons after PI and thus triggers enhanced NE release in the SDH. Optogenetic inhibition of LC noradrenergic neurons eliminates EA-induced NE release and antinociceptive effects after PI, while activation of these neurons mimics EA-induced NE release and antinociception. The resultant increased NE release after EA activates spinal α 2A -adrenoceptor and inhibits CaMKII signaling, which in turn depresses spinal excitatory neuronal hyperexcitability and eventually relieves postoperative pain. It is concluded that LC noradrenergic-spinal projections and subsequent α 2A -adrenoceptor–CaMKII signaling cascades in the SDH contribute to EA-induced antinociception in postoperative pain.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Wen-Guang Chu and Ru Zhang and Hai-Tao Li and Ying-Chun Li and Hui Ding and Zhen-Zhen Li and Wen-Juan Han and Fei Wang and Xing-Xing Zheng and Hong-Hui Mao and Hua Yuan and Sheng-Xi Wu and Rou-Gang Xie and Ceng Luo}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202501182}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {25}, pages = {e01182}, shortjournal = {Adv.

However, mechanisms by which plants regulate rhizosphere microbes to manage nutrient availability under coexisting beneficial and harmful elements remain unclear. This study focuses on the rhizosphere microbiome of Brassica napus in different naturally selenium (Se)–cadmium (Cd)-rich soils, the functionality of this rhizosphere, and the changes in the availability of rhizosphere nutrients. Microbiome analysis, metagenomics, genomic analysis, strain isolation, and functional validation are performed to investigate these relationships. Results show that a significant negative correlation is observed between the rhizosphere available Se and Cd content across the plant whole growth cycle and identified a group of core microbiota that are highly positively correlated with available Se and negatively correlated with available Cd. Genomics and metagenomics analyses reveal that the core microbiota has a higher substrate preference for amino acids related to the glutathione metabolic pathway.

This study reported that high level of mucin1 (MUC1) is associated with poor patient survival in SCLC. MUC1 expression peaks during the G2/M phase and facilitates symmetric division and expansion of CSLCs. Mechanistically, the interaction of MUC1 and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) results in augmented PP2A activity, which leads to reduced phosphorylation of protein kinase C ζ (PKCζ), ultimately decreases phosphorylation of NUMB. Both pharmacological and genetic strategies demonstrate that targeted-inhibition of the MUC1-PP2A axis pointedly rescues phosphorylation of PKCζ and NUMB, thereby shifting CSLCs towards asymmetric division and represses CSLCs proliferation. Conversely, inhibitor of PKCζ suppresses phosphorylation of NUMB, promotes symmetric division and induces enrichment of CSLCs. Moreover, combination of etoposide and inhibitors of MUC1-PP2A pathway efficiently constrains tumor growth in vitro and in vivo.

The activated NiFe 2 O 4 and P-doped NiFe 2 O 4 exhibit a significantly lower Tafel slope (≈40 mV dec −1 ) than Ni 1.5 Fe 1.5 O 4 (≈90 mV dec −1 ), although oxyhydroxides are grown on all three Ni-Fe spinels during OER. This is likely attributed to the formation of a ≈1 nm highly defective layer with a higher oxygen concentration on the activated NiFe 2 O 4 and P-doped NiFe 2 O 4 nanoparticle surfaces (than that in bulk), which improves the charge transfer kinetics toward OER.

Glutamine anabolism mediated by glutamine synthetase (GS) is beneficial for GBM cell growth, especially under glutamine deprivation. However, the molecular mechanism underlying GS homeostasis in GBM remains undisclosed. Here, it is reported that histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) promotes GS deacetylation, stabilizing it via ubiquitin-mediated pathway. It is found that deubiquitination of GS is modulated by ubiquitin-specific peptidase 9, X-linked (USP9X). USP9X stabilizes GS by removing its K48-linked polyubiquitination on lysine 91 and 103. Accordingly, targeting HDAC6 and USP9X in vitro and in vivo represses GBM tumorigenesis by decreasing GS stability. Metabolic analysis shows that silencing HDAC6 and USP9X disrupts de novo nucleotide synthesis, thereby attenuating GBM cell growth.

  @article{ , abstract = {Semi-transparent solar cells represent an exciting opportunity for sustainable energy production, thanks to the possibility of being integrated into buildings and urban environments, effectively exploiting the already existing space. Perovskite solar cells (PCSs) are ideal candidates, offering high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) combined with a tuneable band gap and adjustable thickness, which allow a convenient modulation of the average visible transmittance (AVT). However, balancing high PCE and high AVT is a challenging target. This study uncovers that depositing the perovskite layer based on Formamidinium Lead Iodide (FAPbI 3 ) thin films in ambient air, rather than in a nitrogen-controlled atmosphere, allows an increase in the AVT value of up to > 40% while also enhancing the photovoltaic performance and stability. The optoelectronic quality of the as-obtained perovskite layer is substantially enhanced, showing fewer defects and a superior morphology. As a result, the air-deposited devices exhibit higher efficiency, which, combines with the enhanced AVT, results in a champion device with a light use efficiency (LUE) of 4.2%, having a PCE of 13.8% and AVT of 30.4%.

The homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) transcription factor (TF) family plays a role in regulating plant abiotic stress responses, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. A HD-Zip TF, MdHB7L, is identified as promoting cold tolerance in apple. MdHB7L interacts with MdICE1L, enhancing its transcriptional activation of MdCBFs, and directly binds to MdCBF promoters to activate their expression. Conversely, MdICE1L inhibits the direct binding of MdHB7L on MdCBF promoters, revealing that MdHB7L acts as a cofactor rather than a TF when interacting with MdICE1L. Using ChIP-seq and RNA-seq, MdHB7L is found to directly regulate the expression of several key genes involved in ROS scavenging and biosynthesis of anthocyanins, soluble sugars, and proline, thereby enhancing apple cold tolerance. The E3 ubiquitin ligase MdHOS1 negatively regulates cold tolerance by interacting with and mediating the degradation of MdHB7L and MdICE1L, with a preference for MdICE1L over MdHB7L. This preference inhibits the MdHOS1–MdHB7L interaction and stabilizes MdHB7L, allowing it to sustain the plant's cold response as a TF after MdICE1L degradation.

Current treatment strategies, including prolonged antibiotic regimens and surgical debridement, often fail to adequately resolve infection or support bone regeneration, largely due to the pathogen-induced dysregulation of the bone microenvironment. This study reports a multifunctional capsule that achieves coordinated bacterial capture-killing and immunomodulatory within osseous tissue, effectively resolving the dual pathological challenges of persistent infection microenvironment and dysregulated bone regeneration inherent to osteomyelitis. The capsules, PC-O@TOB, are based on the Schiff base reaction of procyanidins (PC) with the amino of Lysine6-osteogenic growth peptide (K6-OGP) and tobramycin (TOB), which allows for efficient loading and controllable release of K6-OGP and TOB. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that PC-O@TOB exhibits dual functionality: potent bactericidal activity through bacterial capture and localized antibiotic delivery, and microenvironmental remodeling via ROS scavenging and M2 macrophage polarization. This immunomodulatory effect synergizes with the capsule's osteogenic and angiogenic properties to accelerate bone repair.

Recently, the glymphatic hypothesis has challenged this concept by proposing that fluid and solutes move through the brain parenchyma via bulk flow, with influx along arterial perivascular spaces (PVS) and efflux along venous PVS. In this study, we used dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to investigate the distribution of two different contrast agents of molecular weights <1 kDa and 17 kDa injected into the lateral ventricle under awake, low-dose, and high-dose anesthesia conditions. Our findings revealed an increased CSF bulk flow of both contrast agents from the lateral ventricles to the circle of Willis under awake and low-dose anesthesia states.

Humidity and wind are important factors affecting the spread of many pathogenic fungal spores, but it remains difficult to explain the phenomenon of rapid spore spread in greenhouses.

It is demonstrated that Corynespora cassiicola spores exhibit jerking movements during humidity reduction, resulting in spore discharge, and that spore connections are weaker in high-humidity environments than in low-humidity environments. This investigation across the fungal kingdom further reveals that jerking movements are common in the tested hyphomycete spore species. Spores rely mainly on wind to spread after being discharged from hyphae, and their spread range is influenced by factors such as wind speed, spore source height, and spore age.

This study systematically explores the impact of particle surface roughness on liquid marbles by employing colloidal supraparticles as well-defined model systems. Supraparticles are spherical aggregates of uniform colloidal primary particles, which enable adjusting the characteristic surface roughness by varying the primary particle size. Increasing surface roughness increases the interfacial contact angle, which, in turn, influences the mechanical properties and liquid marble stability. The presence of surface roughness increases the deformation resistance of the liquid marble, which counteracts the spreading of the inner liquid upon mechanical impact, and therefore hinders rupture.

Even after being hydrothermally aged with 10 vol% vapor at 850 °C, this catalytic system maintained the Pt size of 2.9 nm, demonstrating remarkable sinter-resistance and water tolerance. Particularly, after aging at 850 °C, the Pt/HEO catalytic system maintained its full CO conversion for 338 h without any decline. These results highlight the positive effect of increasing configurational entropy on the thermal stability of the entire catalytic system, providing a reliable solution for catalytic conversions involving high temperatures.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yunpeng Wang and Mingyu Tang and Zhuxin Lyu and Wanlin Fu and Han Yan and Shiming Zhou and Yueming Sun and Yunqian Dai}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202501334}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {25}, pages = {2501334}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Arterial thrombosis is a severe cardiovascular condition associated with high mortality and disability rates. Traditional pharmacological thrombolytic therapies, however, are limited by a narrow therapeutic window, short drug half-lives, restricted therapeutic effectiveness, and the risk of hemorrhagic complications. Moreover, the unique biological microenvironment of arterial thrombosis is characterized by high shear stress and an inflammatory milieu rich in reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in a relatively high recurrence rate. To address these challenges, a mechanical biomimetic nanocomposite MPB-NO-UK@PM is developed by doping sodium nitroprusside, a nitric oxide (NO) donor, into mesoporous Prussian blue (MPB) nanoparticles to form MPB-NO, which is then loaded with urokinase (UK) and coated with platelet membranes (PM). The nanocomposite exhibits excellent thrombus-targeting ability and enhances thrombolytic efficacy through synergistic photothermal and pharmacological, while simultaneously reducing the risk of bleeding. The released NO induces antiplatelet aggregation effects, while Prussian blue effectively scavenges ROS and inflammatory cytokines, thereby preventing thrombus recurrence. Additionally, the nanocomposite possesses superior photoacoustic imaging capabilities, enabling visualization of thrombus diagnosis and treatment.

  @article{ , abstract = {Perineural invasion (PNI), characterized by tumor cells surrounding and invading nerves, is associated with poor prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC). Understanding the mechanisms of PNI is crucial for developing targeted therapies to impede tumor progression. In this study, clinical information and transcriptome data are obtained from the TCGA database. Stable MAGEA6 knockdown CRC cell lines are established to investigate the impact of MAGEA6 on CRC malignancy. Immunohistochemical staining is used to assess the clinical significance of MAGEA6. Rectal orthotopic and sciatic nerve invasion models are employed to verify the role of MAGEA6 in PNI. Schwann cells (SCs) infiltration and recruitment by CRC cells are assessed using ssGSEA and co-culture experiments. The results reveal that MAGEA6 is a key regulator of PNI, with its expression correlating with poor prognosis. MAGEA6 knockdown reduces CRC cell migration, invasion, and PNI ability. Moreover, CRC cells recruit SCs, with CXCL1 promoting SCs migration. Mechanistically, MAGEA6 inhibits YY1 ubiquitination, stabilizing YY1 expression and enhancing SC recruitment via YY1-mediated CXCL1 transcription. These findings suggest that MAGEA6 enhances CRC invasiveness and PNI by stabilizing YY1, which upregulates CXCL1 secretion and promotes SC recruitment.

  @article{ , abstract = {Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality rates. Recent research suggests a potential link between early-stage TAD and endothelial barrier dysfunction, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Single-cell RNA sequencing data from patients reveal that dysregulated Calpain-2 expression modulates endothelial focal adhesion proteins, serving as an early pathological hallmark and driver of TAD. Elevated plasma calpain activity is strongly associated with an increased risk of TAD and organ dysfunction. Both endogenous and exogenous calpain inhibitors effectively prevent TAD onset and progression in murine models induced by β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN). In early TAD, endothelial junction integrity in the ascending aorta and aortic arch is compromised. Endothelial-specific deletion of Capns1 mitigates early and sustained endothelial focal adhesion damage by reducing aberrant expression of Integrin alpha-V(Itgav), vinculin, and talin-1, thereby decreasing TAD incidence. In contrast, macrophage-specific Capns1 knockout does not impact TAD development but accelerates aortic dissection rupture in later stages. Mechanistically, angiotensin II upregulates Calpain-2, leading to endothelial focal adhesion activation through talin1 cleavage and Itgav assembly, thereby compromising endothelial integrity and permeability.

FABP4 plays a critical role in transporting fatty acids from the extracellular to the intracellular compartment. Mechanistically, obesity promotes excessive fatty acid uptake, leading to aberrant lipid accumulation and reduced ATP production in USMCs.

Immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry, transcriptome RNA sequencing, and bioinformatics simulation analyses, combined with in vitro and in vivo experiments, are conducted to elucidate the molecular mechanism of the role of Talin2 in FJOA. Increased expression levels of Talin2 in FJOA promote the degradation of the extracellular matrix and inhibit its synthesis.

This study demonstrates that gestational environmental stressor cadmium exposure caused placental estradiol synthesis inhibition and fetal testicular dysplasia. Gestational estradiol supplementation restores fetal testicular dysplasia caused by environmental stress-induced placental estradiol synthesis inhibition. Analysis of human placentae and cadmium-stimulated human primary placental trophoblasts confirmed that ER-phagy is associated with the inhibition of estradiol synthesis in placentae. Subsequently, the data reveals that environmental stress significantly activates RTN3L-mediated ER-phagy.

  @article{ , abstract = {Ovarian cancer is an aggressive gynecological tumor usually diagnosed with widespread metastases. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), though recognized as important mediators of tumor metastasis, have received limited attention into their specific functions via the mRNA profiling. Here it is reported elevated expression and selective enrichment of INAVA mRNA in both plasma- and tissue-derived EVs from ovarian cancer patients, which is positively correlated with distant metastasis and poor prognosis. Functionally, INAVA mRNA, upon uptake and translation, activates normal ovarian fibroblasts (NOFs) and drives extensive peritoneum metastasis in the orthotopic xenograft mouse model. Mechanistically, INAVA competitively binds with high mobility group protein A2 (HMGA2) and consequently inhibit its interaction with vaccinia-related kinase 1 (VRK1), leading to reduced HMGA2 phosphorylation on Ser105. Interestingly, this inhibitory phosphorylation stabilizes HMGA2 via blocking tripartite motif-containing 21 (TRIM21) -mediated K48-linked ubiquitylation, and ultimately enhances the transcription of STAT3 to activate NOFs. Lastly, a cell-permeable peptide that disrupts the INAVA–HMGA2 interaction leads to attenuated NOF activation and provides a promising strategy for ovarian cancer therapy.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Lingkai Gu and Zhangjin Shen and Shizhen Shen and Conghui Wang and Yuwan Liu and Xinyi Wei and Mengxia Zheng and Jiaxin Gu and Xiaojing Chen and Yi Sun and Junfen Xu and Yan Lu and Weiguo Lu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202500912}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {7}, number = {25}, pages = {2500912}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Chronic social stress (CSS) is a significant public health challenge that negatively impacts behavior and immune function through brain-spleen interactions. Oxytocin (OT), a neuropeptide critical for social behavior and immune regulation, is upregulated during CSS, though its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates the role of OT in splenic immune modulation using a murine model of CSS. Behavioral evaluations, serum oxytocin quantification, and splenic immunophenotypic analysis were performed. Splenic denervation confirmed OT’s neuromodulatory role, whereas OTR antagonism revealed its endocrine function. CSS-induced OT elevation was associated with immunosuppression, characterized by increased Foxp3⁺ regulatory T cells and reduced CD4⁺ T and CD19⁺ B cells. OT also modulated macrophage polarization, inhibiting M1-like (pro-inflammatory) and enhancing M2-like (anti-inflammatory) phenotypes. Denervation or pharmacological blockade of OT signaling partly reversed CSS-induced splenic immunosuppression but adversely affected survival in CSS-exposed mice. Additionally, denervation or OTR antagonism reduced the mice's response to social defeat, as shown by decreased social avoidance behavior. These findings suggest that OT-mediated immunosuppression likely represents a compensatory mechanism in response to chronic social stress.

The role of MCPIP1 was investigated using histological staining, RNA sequencing of bone marrow-derived macrophages, co-culture experiments, and validated by western blot. Compared to controls, myeloid MCPIP1-deficient mice had lower survival rates, larger infarction areas, and more severe inflammatory responses after MI. This was due to increased M1 polarization and impaired conversion to the M2 phenotype.

However, substantial challenges and opportunities remain in the simultaneous detection and classification of multiple gases. Artificial intelligence (AI) integrated gas sensor systems effectively enable multi-gas detection using specialized algorithms. Nevertheless, these algorithms are prone to overfitting owing to their high model complexity; this study proposes a sensor array that engineers carbon vacancies in graphene oxide via metal ion doping and high-temperature reduction, enabling high-sensitivity, simultaneous detection of various gases at low temperatures (20 °C). By integrating an advanced artificial intelligence framework, the acquired electrical signals are transformed, and a multi-task learning (MTL) approach is applied to achieve instantaneous identification of four gas types and four-level concentrations. The proposed MTL framework demonstrates superior performance by effectively mitigating overfitting and improving generalization through feature sharing and mutual regularization between gas type classification and concentration estimation tasks. Experimental validation on vehicle exhaust gas fault diagnosis highlights the method's effectiveness and applicability in complex conditions, achieving 98.22% accuracy and 48% faster inference compared to traditional single-task models.

Additionally, the hierarchical structural design of cs-OIA_k enables repeatable robust adhesion (> 10 000 cycles) and vertical alignment to ensure reversible adhesion against dynamically deforming surface (−30% to 100%, depending on skin thickness, site, and age) without skin irritation. Based on these characteristics, the highly adaptable skin-adhesive bioelectronics are demonstrated to achieve reliable electrocardiogram (ECG) and electromyogram (EMG) signal measurements even under shoulder movements with extreme skin deformation.

To address this complexity, the TMEclassifier, a machine-learning tool that classifies cancers into three distinct subtypes: immune Exclusive (IE), immune Suppressive (IS), and immune Activated (IA), is developed. Bulk RNA sequencing categorizes patient samples by TME subtype, and in vivo mouse model validates TME subtype differences and differential responses to immunotherapy. The IE subtype is marked by high stromal cell abundance, associated with aggressive cancer phenotypes. The IS subtype features myeloid-derived suppressor cell infiltration, intensifying immunosuppression. In contrast, the IA subtype, often linked to EBV/MSI, exhibits robust T-cell presence and improved immunotherapy response. Single-cell RNA sequencing is applied to explore TME cellular heterogeneity, and in vivo experiments demonstrate that targeting IL-1 counteracts immunosuppression of IS subtype and markedly improves its responsiveness to immunotherapy.

While significant efforts have been focused on optimizing charge-carrier processes, the interplay of exciton and free carrier in this system have received less attention. Herein, this density-functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations demonstrate that carbon dot-functionalized g-C 3 N 4 (g-C 3 N 4 /CD), synthesized via a facile thermal polymerization, shifts the excited state from localized to charge transfer characteristics. The g-C 3 N 4 /CD exhibits reduced exciton binding energy from 41.0 to 24.6 meV, as shown by temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectroscopy. Particularly, g-C 3 N 4 /CD-10 (10 wt.% CD solution in precursors) achieves a 3-fold increase in the photodegradation rate ( k = 0.020 min⁻¹) of an emerging environmental pollutant, levofloxacin (LEV), under 10 W LED light. Enhanced photocatalytic performances correlate with optimized band structure and efficient charge transport, as confirmed by photophysical and photoelectrochemical analyses.

  @article{ , abstract = {The performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) can be significantly influenced by the physical properties of the flow field design. In this study, nickel foam with varying physical parameters—compression (porosity), pore size, hydrophobicity, and anti-corrosion surface treatments—are systematically investigated to evaluate their influence on PEMFC electrochemical performance, water management, and corrosion resistance. The results reveal that moderate compression (67%), corresponding to a porosity of 85%, offers the optimal balance between electrical conductivity and mass transport, achieving the highest power density of 0.918 W cm −2 and a conductivity formation factor 23% higher than uncompressed samples. Excessive compression may cause ligament fractures and occluded cavities, reducing water management capabilities, and increasing parasitic loss and mass transport resistance. Furthermore, smaller pore sizes result in increased concentration losses, primarily due to higher fluid resistance, complex diffusion pathways, and water retention. Hydrophobic surface modification via polytetrafluoroethylene increased water removal efficiency but at the expense of ohmic losses, with excessive loading hindering water transfer and blocking pores.

  @article{ , abstract = {Despite significant therapeutic advances, cumulative DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) events remain unacceptably high. Recent evidence has underscored the critical role of impaired glycolytic metabolism in cardiovascular damage. Neuraminidase 1 (NEU1), a member of the neuraminidase family, catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal sialic acids from glycoconjugates. Here, it is aimed to characterize the role of NEU1 on defective glycolysis during DIC. Mouse models with cardiac-specific genetic modifications of Neu1 , Nrf2 , and Sirt1 underwent functional analyses, and RNA sequencing to clarify NEU1's role in glycolytic metabolism during DIC. It is discovered that NEU1 is highly expressed after DOX exposure and positively correlated with defective glycolysis phenotypes. Cardiomyocyte-specific deficiency of Neu1 ameliorated impaired glycolytic metabolism and DIC, whereas overexpression of Neu1 in cardiomyocytes exacerbated these pathological phenotypes. Mechanistically, the upregulation of Neu1 is attributed to HIF1α’s transcriptional repression, which necessitated the collaboration of NRF2. Additionally, the C-terminal region of NEU1 physically interacted with SIRT1, facilitating its lysosomal-mediated degradation and contributing to the aberrant glycolytic phenotype.

Here, these questions are addressed with novel mathematical models. Strikingly, the spreading of pathological α-Syn is predominantly determined by the key subnetworks composed of only 2% of the strongest connections in the connectome. Genes associated with the selective vulnerability of brain regions to pathological α-Syn transmission are further analyzed to distinguish those functioning at presynaptic versus postsynaptic regions. Those risk genes are significantly enriched in microglial cells of presynaptic regions and neurons of postsynaptic regions.

Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) has been demonstrated promising for SCI therapy in ways of rehabilitation by facilitating the recovery of lower limb motor abilities.

By assembling discrete TSMNs into an array, the system enables multi-parameter detection with single microneedle resolution. The PEDOT: PSS layer is electrochemically deposited on the TSMNs, enhancing their signal-sensing capabilities and electrochemical properties. Additionally, the design of the pogo pin interface ensures reliable signal transmission and stable device performance, while allowing flexible replacement of the TSMNs, which enhances system maintainability and longevity. Validation experiments conducted on in vivo animal models demonstrate the system's capability in real-time monitoring of muscle fatigue and indicators related to sciatic nerve injury. These results advance the development of wearable technologies for monitoring subcutaneous physiological and biochemical information for diagnosing neuromuscular disorders.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Zhengjie Liu and Chuanjie Yao and Xingyuan Xu and Xinshuo Huang and Shuang Huang and Shantao Zheng and Tao Zhang and Yan Li and Fanmao Liu and Yuxiang Wu and Jing Liu and Hui-jiuan Chen and Xi Xie}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202409075}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {6}, number = {24}, pages = {2409075}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Local intratympanic drug delivery to the inner ear possesses significant otological clinical promise as cisplatin-induced hearing loss (CIHL) therapy, inducing significantly less side effects than systemic drug delivery. However, the multiple detoured barriers, round window membrane (RWM) and poorly controlled drug release hinder successful non-invasive drug delivery through intratympanic administration (IT). Here, a novel near-infrared (NIR) responsive nanocomposite functionalized with saponin, denoted gold nanorod@dexamethasone-mesoporous silica-saponin (AuNR@DEX-MS-saponin, NPs/DEX), is developed to enhance RWM permeation and to control the drug release spatiotemporally. First, the physiochemical properties and release profile of the synthesized nanocomposites are assessed, after which the biocompatibility of the nanocomposites and oto-protection against CIHL are shown in vitro and in vivo. The findings demonstrated that DEX is delivered to the inner ear with high efficiency through IT, due to the permeation enhancement effect of the nanocomposite. Moreover, the nanocomposite with low dose of DEX is highly effective in recovering CIHL, attenuating hair cell loss, and alleviating synaptic ribbon damage.

Immunosuppressants like glucocorticoids (GCs) are used to regulate the immune microenvironment in clinical treatment, but the lack of safe and efficient tissue-specific drug delivery systems, especially immune cell-specific vectors, limits their widespread clinical application. Here, a previously uncharacterized delivery system is reported, termed GC-Exo-CD16Ab, in which GCs are loaded into purified exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, and subsequently decorated with antibody CD16Ab. GC-Exo-CD16Ab is biocompatible and has remarkable delivery efficiency toward CD16 + decidual natural killer (NK) cells and CD16 + macrophages in mice. This innovative approach effectively suppresses the cytotoxicity of decidual NK cells, inhibits M1 macrophage polarization, and regulates the decidual microenvironment, thereby enhancing placental and fetal morphology, and ultimately mitigating miscarriage risk in the abortion-prone mice.

  @article{ , abstract = {Cellular heterogeneity within cancer tissues determines cancer progression and treatment response. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has provided a powerful approach for investigating the cellular heterogeneity of both cancer cells and stroma cells in the tumor microenvironment. However, the common practice to characterize cell identity based on the similarity of their gene expression profiles may not really indicate distinct cellular populations with unique roles. Generally, the cell identity and function are orchestrated by the expression of given specific genes tightly regulated by transcription factors (TFs). Therefore, deciphering TF activity is essential for gaining a better understanding of the uniqueness and functionality of each cell type. Herein, metaTF, a computational framework designed to infer TF activity in scRNA-seq data, is introduced and existing methods are outperformed for estimating TF activity. It presents the improved effectiveness in characterizing cell identity during mouse hematopoietic stem cell development. Furthermore, metaTF provides a superior characterization of the functional identity of breast cancer epithelial cells, and identifies a novel subset of neural-regulated T cells within the tumor immune microenvironment, which potentially activates BCL6 in response to neural-related signals.

  @article{ , abstract = {Strain engineering has been widely employed to control and enhance the ferroelectric properties of hafnium oxide (HfO₂)-based thin films. While previous studies focused on the influence of the strain in simple metal-ferroelectric-metal structures, the integration of strain-induced ferroelectricity into field-effect transistors (FETs) requires consideration of geometrical factors, such as the interfaces between the channel and source/drain contacts, as well as device dimension. Here, we demonstrate strain effects in HfO₂-based ferroelectric FETs (FeFETs) with poly-Si channels via low-frequency noise (LFN) spectroscopy. LFN analysis reveals that the strain during the post-metal annealing introduces damage to channel interface with its severity depending on the device geometry. This strain-dependent behavior results in a unique noise characteristic, which we refer to as the reverse scaling effect , where noise increases with longer channel lengths—contrary to the conventional trend in typical FETs, where noise decreases with increasing channel length. Furthermore, we observe that while increased strain enhances ferroelectricity, it also degrades the electrical performance of poly-Si FeFETs, primarily through damage to the channel interfaces.

Incorporating self-oscillation capabilities within the wires could be a promising approach to enhance the autonomous dynamic functions of these structures. However, self-oscillation, which usually appears in biological organisms and active materials, requires complex feedback interactions between activity and elasticity, hindering their application in self-oscillating wires. Here, a simple self-oscillation strategy is suggested by extending Willis elasticity to Willis-type viscosity through an irreversible coupling between strain rate and body force. A class of active wires equipped with electro-magneto-mechanically coupled feedforward loops is designed to realize the irreversible coupling. Numerical experiments show that the active wire hosts biased limit-cycle self-oscillation, where oscillation amplitudes are amplified linearly along one direction. Using continuum models, the linear amplification is interpreted as the force equilibrium caused by asymmetric Willis viscosity. In the design, the oscillation mode shape can be tailored independently of frequency, and the active wire supports the standing propagating mode transition.

  @article{ , abstract = {Postoperative adhesions are inevitable consequences of surgery, resulting in various complications. The risk increases, particularly in cardiac surgery, where reoperations or staged operations are in high demand. The presence of cardiac adhesions severely complicates resternotomy procedures, which may increase the risk of re-traumatizing, bleeding, operation time extension, and even mortality. Here, a biodegradable thermo-sensitive fouling-resistant hydrogel based on poly(D,L-lactide)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PLEL) micelles is developed, exhibiting high compatibility with both thoracotomies and minimally invasive interventions. By combining the advantages of liquid and film barriers, this hydrogel can completely cover irregular wounds after injecting or spraying and fully avoid direct contact with injuries between adjacent wound surfaces during the critical course of adhesion formation.

  @article{ , abstract = {Seals can track fish using highly sensitive whiskers; however, the extent to which their morphologically diverse whiskers respond to hydrodynamic signals across frequencies remains unexplored. To address this, the lengths, thicknesses, curvatures, and natural frequencies of whisker arrays in grey seals ( Halichoerus grypus ) and harbor seals ( Phoca vitulina ) are measured. These values are mapped to their corresponding locations on the seal muzzle, and spatial trends (rostral-caudal and ventral-dorsal) are analyzed. These findings show that over 50% of whiskers exhibit underwater natural frequencies exceeding 80 Hz, which overlap with hydrodynamic fish trail frequencies (>100 Hz), demonstrating the adaptation of seal whiskers to hydrodynamic signals. Additionally, an open-access database of 141 full-length 3D whisker models is established. A streamlined method based on Euler spirals is proposed to fit and map seal whiskers simultaneously. This method evaluates the curvature of the full-length seal whisker and calculates morphological parameters (e.g., whisker axis and cross-sectional orientation angles) that are required for 3D whisker construction. The database of 3D seal whiskers offers a valuable resource for researchers in computational fluid dynamics, experimental biology, and sensor technology, supporting multidisciplinary studies of seal whiskers.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xingwen Zheng and Amar M.

  @article{ , abstract = {Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a complex mixture of neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease, and infection, where excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) exacerbates inflammation and impairs healing. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a hydrogel dressing with a ‘lever’ function to balance ROS levels in the wound to achieve both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects on DFUs. In this study, we synthesised ROS-responsive diselenide liposomes loaded with a pro-skin healing factor (ergothioneine (ET)), thrombin, and a sonosensitizer (HMME) and constructed nanocomposite ‘lever’ hydrogels modulated by ultrasound (US). During early infection, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) under US generates bactericidal ROS, cleaving diselenide bonds to release ET and thrombin. Upon US cessation, thrombin/fibrinogen forms an in situ gel, while ET scavenges residual ROS and promotes M2 macrophage polarization in later stages. In addition, the potential immunomodulatory mechanisms of the nanocomposite ‘lever’ hydrogels were investigated via RNA sequencing. In conclusion, the novel nanocomposite ‘lever’ hydrogels effectively achieved a balance between ROS production and annihilation during different stages of wound repair while providing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to promote neovascularisation and improve diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Furthermore, the HEPP integrates photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and self-cascading reactive oxygen species (ROS) to prevent bacterial infections while ensuring a continuous supply of oxygen (O 2 ) to the wound. The HEPP not only adeptly controls high ROS levels, but also enhances the regulation of inflammation in the wound area via electrical stimulation (ES), thereby promoting healing that is supported by the immune response. Studies conducted in vitro, along with transcriptomic analyses, indicate that ES primarily mitigates inflammation by regulating Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).

  @article{ , abstract = {The supply of platelets for clinical transfusion is often insufficient to meet growing demand. Platelet regeneration from stem cells offers a potential solution to reduce reliance on donor-based transfusions. However, the current differentiation efficiency is suboptimal. A novel approach is presented that significantly enhances platelet yield from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) by increasing the production of megakaryocyte progenitors (MkPs) and mature megakaryocytes (MKs). This method employs the overexpression of HES7 combined with the HDAC inhibitor and GABA agonist (collectively termed the VGM cocktail). The VGM cocktail induces MkP production with an efficiency of up to 90%, validated across HSPCs from various donors. These MkPs exhibit extended proliferative capacity, remaining viable for up to 51 days in prolonged culture, and show enhanced maturation into MKs. This differentiation system effectively replicates in vivo thrombocytopoiesis, as evidenced by polyploidization, long protrusions, and proplatelet formation. Transfusion of VGM-induced MkPs into thrombocytopenic mice results in the release of platelets into circulation. Mechanistic investigation identifies the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway as critical in promoting megakaryopoiesis within this system.

  @article{ , abstract = {Metal halide perovskite semiconductors are highly valued for their outstanding optoelectronic properties. However, the high density of intrinsic defect states in their polycrystalline thin films on the surface and within the bulk poses a significant challenge by diminishing carrier mobility and lifetime, thus hindering device performance. This study reveals a previously unidentified mid-IR emissive trapping state in MAPbI 3 that differs from conventional Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) defects, exhibiting unique surface-localized characteristics detectable through transient mid-IR spectroscopy. A dual-function passivation strategy using daminozide (DA) is developed, where the interlayer selectively passivates mid-IR-active surface defects while the additive mitigates bulk SRH defects through carbonyl-Pb 2 ⁺ coordination. This passivation strategy yields remarkable improvements in carrier dynamics, increasing diffusion constants from 0.135 to 0.165 cm 2 s⁻¹ and significantly enhancing the device performance, including open-circuit voltage and power conversion efficiency.

  @article{ , abstract = {Photonic neural networks (PNNs) based on silicon photonic integrated circuits (Si-PICs) offer significant advantages over microelectronic counterparts, including lower energy consumption, higher bandwidth, and faster computing speeds. However, the analog nature of optical signal in PNNs makes Si-PIC solutions highly sensitive to device noise, especially when using fixed-value deterministic models, which are not robust to hardware fluctuation. Furthermore, current PNNs are unable to handle data uncertainty, a critical factor in applications such as autonomous driving, medical diagnostics, and financial forecasting. Herein, a photonic Bayesian neural network (PBNN) architecture that incorporates Bayesian principles to enhance robustness and address uncertainty is proposed. In the PBNN, device noise is leveraged through photonic-noise-based random number generators, which combine Mach-Zehnder interferometers and micro-ring resonators to independently control output mean and standard deviation. Based on modelling with experimentally extracted data, the PBNN achieves a classification accuracy of up to 98% for handwritten digit recognition, matching full-precision models on conventional computers. Beyond classification, the PBNN excels in multimodal data processing, regression, and outlier detection. This scalable, energy-efficient architecture transforms photonic noise into computational value, addressing the limitations of deterministic PNNs and enabling uncertainty-aware computing for real-world applications.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yangyang Zhuge and Zhihao Ren and Zian Xiao and Zixuan Zhang and Xinmiao Liu and Weixin Liu and Siyu Xu and Chong Pei Ho and Nanxi Li and Chengkuo Lee}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202500525}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {6}, number = {23}, pages = {2500525}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Homogeneous green bodies of Ti 3 C 2 T x and ZrB 2 were synthesized via electrostatic self-assembly in aqueous media without surfactants and subsequently densified using field-assisted (spark plasma) sintering.

The presence of MXene also facilitates the formation of a core–shell microstructure, where (Zr,Ti)B 2 shells encapsulate ZrB₂ cores, with arrays of dislocations observed at the core–shell interface. Mechanical characterizations show substantial improvements, including a 36% increase in hardness, a ≈12% enhancement in Young's modulus, and a ≈15% increase in flexural strength at 2.5 wt.% MXene loading.

This study demonstrates that the bandgap energy and interlayer coupling strength of twisted bilayer (tBL) ReS 2 can be continuously modulated by the twist angle. By controlling the twist angle between 0° and 10°, the exciton energy of tBL ReS 2 is tuned over a range of 40 meV, which is comparable to the difference between the exciton energies of intrinsic monolayer and bilayer ReS 2 . Such a wide modulation range for the interlayer coupling strength of tBL ReS 2 , which significantly affects the band structure, is also shown by the systematic shift in the low-and high-frequency Raman modes and results of a strain study using scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging. Density functional theory calculations on moiré superlattice tBL ReS 2 structures confirm a consistent increase in the bandgap with the twist angle. The strong modulation of interlayer coupling by the twist angle in tBL ReS 2 is attributed to the low symmetry of the 1T ' structure and in-plane anisotropy of the ReS 2 lattice.

  @article{ , abstract = {Structural maintenance of chromosome protein 4 (SMC4), is a key structural component of mitotic chromosomes. While existing evidence indicates a plausible link between SMC4 and oncogenic manifestations, its precise role in the trajectory of prostate cancer remains ambiguous. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database analysis reveals that aberrant expression of SMC4 exhibits a robust prognostic association with metastatic progression. To investigate the function of SMC4, the SMC4 gene is knocked down in RM1-LM cells, a highly metastatic cell clone is developed, using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The results show that SMC4 knockdown significantly diminished cell proliferation and migration in vitro. Furthermore, in a murine model, RM1-LM cells display higher lung metastasis capabilities than SMC4 knockdown cells. SMC4 knockdown inhibited the activation of mTOR and downregulated the expression of Rheb. KEGG enrichment analyses of the RNA-seq results reveal that cancer signaling pathways and metabolic pathways are enriched. The SMC4 interactome is uncovered through IP-MS and indicates that SMC4 interacts with GLUT1, encoded by Slc2a1 .

By mimicking lipophilic membrane probe (Dil) with octadecyl chains, a NIR-II emissive photothermal dye ( IRC18 ), which realizes labeling of nanovesicle lipid bilayers for biodistribution tracing, glioblastoma diagnosis, and molecular imaging of tumoral microenvironment, is synthesized. Importantly, MM and c-RGD-decorated liposome together offer BBB crossing, tumor targeting, and long-term circulation; while, the genetically overexpressed CSF1R and IL12 on MM surface contribute to effective modulation of M2-to-M1 macrophage repolarization and local promotion of T cell cytotoxicity in glioblastoma microenvironment, respectively. Notably, through membrane fusion, IRC18 dyes translocate from nanovesicle lipid bilayers to glioblastoma membranes, which achieve membrane-targeted mild photothermal therapy to ablate primary tumor and induce immunogenic cell death to promote antigen presentation. More importantly, the combined blockade of the CSF1-CSF1R axis and IL-12 enrichment not only reprograms the tumor microenvironment through macrophage M1 repolarization but also activates cytotoxic T cells, ultimately achieving complete glioblastoma eradication.

Genetic manipulation of HY5 reveals that its knockout delays carotenoid synthesis and sucrose conversion, while its overexpression promotes fruit ripening. Molecular and biochemical analyses show that HY5 directly activates the transcript of the key carotenoid synthesis genes, such as Phytoene Synthase 1 (PSY1) and Phytoene Desaturase (PDS) , as well as the sucrose metabolism genes, including Lycopersicum Invertase ( LIN5 , LIN6 ), Vacuolar Invertase ( VI ) and Sucrose Synthase ( SS1 , SS7 ).

  @article{ , abstract = {During oocyte meiosis, maternal transcript polyadenylation is crucial for regulating mRNA stability and translation, which are essential for oocyte maturation. Polyadenylate-binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1) plays a key role in regulating mRNA splicing and polyadenylation in somatic cells and growing oocytes. However, its potential function in regulating the meiotic maturation of fully grown oocytes remains unknown. This study reports that selective Pabpn1 knockout in growing mouse oocytes using Zp3-Cre do not affect folliculogenesis but prevented germinal vesicle breakdown in fully grown oocytes, impaired CDK1 activation, and resulted in abnormal spindle formation and chromosome misalignment. The results of poly(A)-inclusive full-length RNA isoform sequencing (PAIso-seq) and transcriptome sequencing revealed that PABPN1 coordinates meiotic maturation-coupled polyadenylation and degradation of maternal mRNAs, which are key factors of maturation-promoting factor (MPF) and deadenylation mediators, such as B-cell translocation gene-4 (BTG4), ensuring proper meiotic progression. The results of rescue experiments indicate these functions of PABPN1 are mediated by its key domains, which interact with poly(A) polymerase and recruit target mRNAs.

However, their clinical utility is limited by the heterogeneity of CTC subtypes and the need for robust, quantitative assays. In this study, a quantitative CTC RNA assay incorporating multi-antibody-based CTC isolation and specific mRNA quantification by RT-ddPCR is developed. Two distinct models are established: NSCLC CTC Score D for detecting early NSCLC (stages I-II), and NSCLC CTC Score M for monitoring advanced NSCLC (stages III-IV), based on distinct cohort criteria. NSCLC CTC Score D demonstrates high diagnostic performance for early-stage NSCLC, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.93, significantly outperforming serum CEA (AUC = 0.70). Compared to NSCLC CTC Score D , NSCLC CTC Score M captures a key gene feature of KRT19 , whose fragment protein, serum CYFRA 21-1, is used as a prognostic biomarker for advanced NSCLC. Notably, CTC Scores M exhibits a more accurate early warning of patient responses to different therapies than serum CYFRA21-1 levels, which may provide a potential blood test-based biomarker for improved treatment assessment in advanced NSCLC.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xiaoyu Wang and Pi Ding and Wenjuan Xu and Lei Qiu and Jing Ren and Yucheng Fei and Zhili Wang and Cheng Li and Yufei Xing and Mingjing Shen and Yawen Zhu and Yun Guo and Na Sun and Renjun Pei and Minhua Shi}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202417849}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {6}, number = {23}, pages = {2417849}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {The efficacy of radiotherapy (RT) is often limited by insufficient tumor selectivity and suboptimal therapeutic responses. To overcome these problems, a new kind of selenium-doped Ag/Ag 2 S Janus nanoparticles (Ag/Ag 2 Se x S y JNPs) is presented as radio-responsive molecular probes for precise tumor imaging and enhanced radiosensitization. By adjusting the selenium precursor input, heterojunction nanoparticles with tunable doping ratios are synthesized, optimizing X-ray absorption and energy storage properties. Upon X-ray irradiation, the Ag/Ag 2 Se x S y JNPs interact with overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in tumor cells, generating highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which effectively induce tumor cell apoptosis. Additionally, Selenium incorporation improves electron–hole pair separation efficiency and enhances the photocurrent response, promoting increased electron transfer and ·OH generation, thus amplifying reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and enhancing radiosensitization. Furthermore, the fluorescence “OFF-ON” mechanism, triggered by H 2 O 2 -induced etching of silver allows real-time monitoring of H 2 O 2 levels via the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescence (FL) imaging “Turn On”, which delineates tumor boundaries for precise RT and reduce side effects to normal tissue.

  @article{ , abstract = {Ferromagnetic perovskite oxides, particularly La 0.7​ Sr 0.3 MnO 3 (LSMO), show significant promise for spintronics and electromagnetic applications due to their unique half-metallicity and colossal magnetoresistance properties. These properties are known to arise from Mn-O-Mn double-exchange interactions, which are directly related to microscopic lattice structures. However, since the microscopic structure in LSMO is highly sensitive to various material parameters, such as thickness, lattice strain, oxygen deficiency, and cation stoichiometry, understanding the intricate relationship between the microscopic structures and the resulting physical properties of LSMO remains challenging. Herein, a machine learning approach is introduced to characterize ferromagnetic LSMO thin films by featurization of their surface morphology. Using an ensemble machine learning method, the non-linear correlations between surface morphology and the electronic, magnetic properties of LSMO thin films are captured and modeled. Based on these estimated correlations, LSMO thin films are classified into five representative types, each characterized by distinctive properties and surface morphologies. These results imply that surface morphology can reveal hidden information about the strongly correlated properties of ferromagnetic LSMO thin films.

The bPEI:LiOH:PSSA (PLP) SSEs with various PSSA molar ratios are applied to asymmetric supercapacitors with graphite-based anodes and indium tin oxide (ITO) counter electrodes.

LRRC4 deficiency triggers defective oocyte maturation and excessive follicular atresia through inhibition of GC differentiation and ultimately leads to POI.

  @article{ , abstract = {Skeletal muscle plays a crucial role in maintaining motor function and metabolic homeostasis, with its loss or atrophy leading to significant health consequences. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as key regulators in muscle biology; however, their precise roles in muscle function and pathology remain to be fully elucidated. This study demonstrates that lncRNA maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) is preferentially expressed in slow-twitch muscle fibers and dynamically regulated during muscle development, aging, and in the context of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Using both loss- and gain-of-function mice models, this study shows that lncRNA-MEG3 is critical for preserving muscle mass and function.

  @article{ , abstract = {Metabolic reprogramming is a pivotal mechanism in the pathogenesis of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 6 (Lgr6) has emerged as a significant player in cardiovascular diseases. In this study, the potential of Lgr6 to counteract pressure overload (PO)-induced cardiac hypertrophy is investigated, and the underlying mechanisms involved are elucidated. Transverse aortic constriction (TAC) is induced to establish an in vivo cardiac hypertrophy model. Adeno-associated virus 9 and adenovirus vectors are utilized to knock down and overexpress Lgr6 in cardiomyocytes, respectively. The effects of Lgr6 and its downstream molecules are subsequently determined using RNA sequencing and chromatin immunoprecipitation. Significant downregulation of Lgr6 expression is observed in the heart after TAC and in cardiomyocytes treated with phenylephrine. Lgr6 deficiency accelerated and Lgr6 overexpression inhibits cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction after TAC. Mechanistically, the in vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that Lgr6 regulates the expression of ubiquitin specific protease 4 (USP4) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) by activating the cGMP/PKG/CREB1 signalling pathway, thereby regulating cardiomyocyte metabolic reprogramming after PO.

  @article{ , abstract = {Accurate characterization of cellular states is the foundation for precise prediction of drug sensitivity in cancer cell lines, which in turn is fundamental to realizing precision oncology. However, current deep learning approaches have limitations in characterizing cellular states. They rely solely on isolated genetic markers, overlooking the complex regulatory networks and cellular mechanisms that underlie drug responses. To address this limitation, this work proposes DeepCCDS, a Deep learning framework for Cancer Cell Drug Sensitivity prediction through Characterizing Cancer Driver Signals. DeepCCDS incorporates a prior knowledge network to characterize cancer driver signals, building upon the self-supervised neural network framework. The signals can reflect key mechanisms influencing cancer cell development and drug response, enhancing the model's predictive performance and interpretability. DeepCCDS has demonstrated superior performance in predicting drug sensitivity compared to previous state-of-the-art approaches across multiple datasets. Benefiting from integrating prior knowledge, DeepCCDS exhibits powerful feature representation capabilities and interpretability. Based on these feature representations, we have identified embedding features that could potentially be used for drug screening in new indications.

  @article{ , abstract = {Hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis are the hallmarks of metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a serious health risk. This study emphasizes how important gelsolin (GSN) is to the pathophysiology of MASH. The results show that GSN is significantly overexpressed in both MASH patients and animal models. Under MASH models, Gsn knockout (KO) ( Gsn −/− ) mice demonstrate exacerbated hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, underscoring GSN's protective function. Remarkably, adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated restoration of Gsn substantially alleviates these pathological features, indicating its therapeutic potential. Mechanistically, the absence of GSN leads to increased F-actin polymerization and heightened activation of Yes-associated protein (YAP), thereby intensifying the inflammatory response. Subsequently, the experimental data identify a co-expression relationship between GSN and MDM2, and GSN is found to facilitate the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of P53 via MDM2, a crucial process for liver protection. These findings imply that GSN is essential for controlling important molecular pathways in MASH by encouraging P53's MDM2-mediated degradation, which lessens the severity of hepatic steatosis.

  @article{ , abstract = {Depression, a pervasive mental health condition, has increasingly been linked to neuroinflammation, as evidenced by elevated levels of pro-inflammatory markers such as TNF-α and IL-1β observed in patients, which underscores the role of inflammation in its pathophysiology. This study investigates the differential effects of S-ketamine (S-KET) and R-ketamine (R-KET) on inflammation-induced depression using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse model. Results showed that S-KET, but not R-KET, significantly alleviated depressive-like behaviors and reduced levels of pro-inflammatory factors in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Activity-based protein profiling identified SIRT2 as a key intracellular target of S-KET, with direct binding observed at the Q167 residue, whereas R-KET showed no such binding. S-KET enhanced SIRT2 interaction with NF-κB subunit p65, reducing its acetylation and suppressing pro-inflammatory gene expression, effects not seen with R-KET. In vitro studies with RNA interference and the SIRT2 inhibitor AK-7, along with in vivo pharmacological blockade, confirmed that SIRT2 is crucial for the anti-inflammatory and antidepressant actions of S-KET.

  @article{ , abstract = {Although pathological cardiac hypertrophy is a key driver of heart failure, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. This study investigates the role and mechanism of deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) ubiquitin-specific protease 20 (USP20) in cardiac hypertrophy. Transcriptomic profiling of hypertrophic hearts shows significant alterations in the expression of DUBs, including a remarkable downregulation of USP20. USP20 is predominantly expressed in cardiomyocytes. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is used to identify USP20 substrates. Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation assay (CUT&Tag) sequencing is employed to identify downstream targets of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). Functionally, USP20 deficiency exacerbates cardiac hypertrophy induced by either angiotensin II (Ang II) or transverse aortic constriction (TAC), whereas USP20 overexpression alleviates hypertrophic responses. Mechanistically, USP20 deubiquitinates STAT3 by removing K63-linked ubiquitin chains at K177 via its H645 active site, reducing STAT3 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. This inhibites STAT3's transcriptional activity at coactivator-associated arginine methyltransfer ( Carm1) promoter, leading to upregulated CARM1 expression and mitigated hypertrophy.

Studies have shown that at this critical interface, HCC cells primarily rely on fatty acid oxidation to meet their energy demands, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study demonstrates that activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) at the tumor margin play a pivotal role in sustaining the metabolic needs of HCC cells. Specifically, it is discovered that mitochondrial fission regulator 2 (MTFR2) in HSCs interacts with dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1, a known mitochondrial fission machinery), preventing its lysosomal degradation, which in turn promotes mitochondrial fission. This MTFR2-driven mitochondrial fission enhances the transfer of both fatty acids and mitochondria to HCC cells, supplying essential metabolic substrates and reinforcing the mitochondrial machinery critical for tumor growth.

However, such fluctuations in symptoms are consequences of the complex interactions between the underlying physiological, pathophysiological, and external causes. Therefore, identifying an accurate model of the underlying system that governs the multi-day rhythms allows for a more reliable seizure risk forecast and targeted interventions. The primary aim is to develop a personalized strategy for inferring long-term trajectories of epileptiform activity and, consequently, seizure risk for individual patients undergoing long-term ECoG sampling via implantable neurostimulation devices. To achieve this goal, the Hankel alternative view of Koopman (HAVOK) analysis is adopted to approximate a linear representation of nonlinear seizure propensity dynamics. The HAVOK framework leverages Koopman theory and delay-embedding to decompose chaotic dynamics into a linear system of leading delay-embedded coordinates driven by the low-energy coordinate (i.e., forcing). The findings reveal the topology of attractors underlying multi-day seizure cycles, showing that seizures tend to occur in regions of the manifold with strongly nonlinear dynamics.

Multidisciplinary comprehensive treatments (MDT), including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, gene-targeted therapy, immunotherapy, antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), natural products, etc., have been currently used for lung cancer metastasis. The MDT model has shown promising efficacy against lung cancer metastasis in clinical practice. However, these therapies have some limitations, such as unusual toxic side effects, drug resistance, limited indications, and high costs. Therefore, emerging technological platforms are imperative to overcome these bottlenecks. Nanomedicine can be used to prepare efficient drug delivery systems owing to its good biocompatibility, high targeting, responsive release, and multidrug codelivery and plays an important role in the synergistic antimetastasis of lung cancer because of the optical, acoustic, electrical, thermal, and magnetic functions.

Neuroinflammation significantly contributes to NVAMD's etiology. This study explores the role of Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), an immune checkpoint (ICP) in microglia, known for limiting neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases, and its potential function in NVAMD. This work finds increased PD-L1 expression in retinal microglia following laser injury. PD-L1 knockout (KO) or inhibitory PD-L1 antibody treatment worsens vascular leakage and neoangiogenesis in a laser-induced NVAMD mouse model, effects reversible by microglia depletion with PLX5622. This study underscores that choroidal neovascularization (CNV) may be regulated by multiple mechanisms, with PD-L1 modulation representing one of these pathways. Blocking PD-L1 elevated proinflammatory factors and p-ERK levels, indicating microglial overactivation in NVAMD.

The potential interplay between matrix stiffness and hepatocyte lipid accumulation during NAFLD has not been established. Here, an in vitro NAFLD model is developed using chemically defined, engineered hydrogels and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatic organoids (HOs). Specifically, dynamic covalent chemistry crosslinking, along with transient small molecule competitors, are used to create dynamic stiffening hydrogels that enable the reproducible culture of HOs. Within matrices that mimic the stiffness of healthy to diseased tissue (≈1–6 kPa), lipid droplet accumulation in HOs is triggered by exposure to an NAFLD-associated free fatty acid. These NAFLD model suggests that higher stiffness microenvironments result in increased hepatic lipid droplet accumulation, increased expression of fibrosis markers, and increased metabolic dysregulation. By targeting the ROCK mechanosignaling pathway, the synergy between matrix stiffness and lipid droplet accumulation is disrupted.

  @article{ , abstract = {Chemotherapy remains a prevalent strategy in cancer therapy; however, the emergence of drug resistance poses a considerable challenge to its efficacy. Most drug resistance arises from the accumulation of genetic mutations in a minority of resistant cells. The mechanisms underlying the emergence and progression of cancer resistance from these minority-resistant cells (MRCs) remain poorly understood. This study employs force-induced remnant magnetization spectroscopy (FIRMS) alongside various biological investigations to reveal the mechanical pathways for MRCs fostering drug resistance and tumor progression. The findings show that minority Paclitaxel-resistant cancer cells have enhanced mechanical properties. These cells can transmit high-intensity forces to surrounding sensitive cells (SCs) through the force transducer, Merlin. This force transmission facilitates the assimilation of surrounding SCs, subsequently strengthening the contraction and adhesion of tumor cells. This process is termed “mechano-assimilation,” which accelerates the development of drug resistance and tumor progression. Interestingly, disturbances and reductions of mechano-assimilation within tumors can restore sensitivity to Paclitaxel both in vitro and in vivo. This study provides preliminary evidence highlighting the contribution of MRCs to the development of drug resistance and malignancy, mediated through mechanical interactions.

Herein, we present a novel strategy to enhance HFO utilization by in situ confinement of nano-HFO within polystyrene beads using a tannic acid-zirconium (TA-Zr) metalphenolic network, forming PS-Fe@TA-Zr. The TAZr network generates a highly negative microenvironment with tunable electron density at oxygen sites, facilitating Pb(II) enrichment and activating inner-layer Fe sites. Depth-profiling reveals a significant increase in the Pb/Fe ratio from 7.6% at the surface to 18.8% at 10 nm depth, highlighting the contribution of previously inaccessible active sites. The TAZr confinement also modulates electron density at Fe and O sites, enabling stronger hybridization with Pb 4f orbitals and enhancing Pb(II)HFO interactions.

  @article{ , abstract = {Sodium metal anode holds great potential for high energy density sodium batteries. However, its practical utilization is impeded by significant volume change and uncontrolled dendrite growth. To tackle these issues, a three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical porous sodiophilic reduced graphene oxide/diamane (rGO/diamane) microlattice aerogel is constructed by a direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing (3DP) method. The molten Na is diffused into the rGO/diamane host to form Na@rGO/diamane anode, which can deliver an ultra-high capacity of 78.60 mAh cm −2 (1090.94 mAh g −1 ). Benefiting from uniform ion distribution and homogeneously distributed sodiophilic diamane enabled dendrite-free deposition morphology, the Na@rGO/diamane anodes exhibit a long cycle-life of over 7200 h at 1 mA cm −2 with 1 mAh cm −2 . Furthermore, the Na@rGO/diamane anode also enhances the long-term stability at an elevated operation temperature of 60 °C, sustaining a prolonged lifespan of 400 h at 1 mA cm −2 with 1 mAh cm −2 . Notably, when integrated with the Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon (NVP@C) cathode and Na@rGO/diamane anode, the full cell delivers sustained longevity, maintaining a lifespan of over 2000 cycles with a capacity retention rate of 95.72%.

  @article{ , abstract = {Continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring is essential for cardiovascular health, yet current BP sensors face cuff-dependent limitations. Cuff-free alternatives still suffer from discomfort and discontinuous measurement. Here a wearable hyperspectral photoplethysmography (HS-PPG) is reported for continuous and nonconscious BP monitoring. The HS-PPG module integrates an ultrathin and high-resolution double-folded solid immersion grating microspectrometer (DFSIG-µSPEC) with a white light LED. DFSIG-µSPEC shows an average spectral resolution of 3.4 nm for 550–800 nm in the operational range. The HS-PPG module has a compact physical dimension of 8 mm × 16 mm × 24 mm, suitable for wrist-wearable configuration. The PPG waveforms contain 50 spectral bands, achieving precise measurement of arteriolar pulse transit time (aPTT). The diastolic and systolic BPs are precisely estimated with R-values of 0.92 and 0.96, and mean absolute differences (MAD) of 1.20 and 0.40 mmHg with the 2-element Windkessel model, respectively. Further, the BP is continuously measured with heart rate (HR) and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) with exercise-induced hypertension. Continuous monitoring of systolic blood pressure (SBP) exhibits immediate responses during hemodynamic changes, with the physiological parameters of SBP, HR, and RER during exercise and recovery.

  @article{ , abstract = {The success of different heterogeneous strategies of organometallic catalysts has been demonstrated to achieve high selectivity and activity in photo/electrocatalysis. However, yielding their catalytic mechanisms at complex molecule-electrode and electrochemical interfaces remains a great challenge. Herein, shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is employed to elucidate the dynamic process, interfacial structure, and intermediates of copper hydroxide-2-2′ bipyridine on Au electrode ((bpy)Cu(OH) 2 /Au) during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Direct Raman molecular evidences reveal that the interfacial (bpy)Cu(OH) 2 oxidizes into Cu(III) and bridges to Au atoms via oxygenated species, forming (bpy)Cu(III)O 2 -Au with oxygen-bridged binuclear metal centers of Cu(III)-O-Au for the OER. As the potential further increases, Cu(III)-O-Au combines with surface hydroxyl groups (*OH) to form the important intermediate of Cu(III)-OOH-Au, which then turns into Cu(III)-OO-Au to release O 2 . Furthermore, in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy proves that the Cu(III)-O-Au has lower resistance and faster mass transport of hydroxy to enhance OER. Theoretical calculations reveal that the formation of Cu(III)-O-Au significantly modify the elementary reaction steps of the OER, resulting in a lower potential-determining step of ≈0.58 V than that of bare Au.

  @article{ , abstract = {Disruption of low oxygen tension homeostasis during intervertebral disc degeneration inhibits endogenous stem cell viability and function, posing a challenge for endogenous regeneration. Here, to achieve sustained hypoxia manipulation, constructed hypoxia-inducible interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel microspheres (HIMS) are constructed by microfluidics to integrate the hypoxic system with a stabilizing network. The IPN is synthesized through a two-step polymerization process, consisting of rapid photo-crosslinked gelatin methacrylate anhydride (GM) polymer I and slow enzyme-crosslinked vanillin-grafted gelatin (GV) polymer II. The enzymatic reaction between GV and laccase is able to create a hypoxic microenvironment to modulate oxygen tension in situ within the injured region. HIMS can reduce microenvironmental oxygen tension by 1/3 and maintain a hypoxic microenvironment for up to 5 days, thereby activating the PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α signaling pathway in endogenous stem cells to promote differentiation into nucleus pulposus-like cells. Additionally, NSC-Exos are loaded onto HIMS to trigger endogenous progenitor/stem cell recruitment and migration. Both in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrate that NSC-Exos@HIMS facilitates stem cell recruitment, targets differentiation, and stimulates extracellular matrix synthesis.

In this study, a virome approach is utilized to examine the presence of plant viruses in river water. The results indicated that tryptophan-like dissolved organic matter (Try-like DOM) may play a crucial role influencing the abundance of plant viruses in river water. Further experiments found that Try-like DOM can protect plant viruses under simulated natural conditions. This protective phenomenon is attributed to Try-like DOM adopting a “swimming firewall mode”, i.e., free Try-like DOM can act as a firewall to effectively absorb ultraviolet (UV) light, helping plant viruses avoid the harmful effects of UV radiation and free radicals.

  @article{ , abstract = {Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a malignancy with poor prognosis and chemotherapy resistance. Here, protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) is identified as a key driver of carboplatin (CBP) resistance in HNSCC. Analyses of clinical samples, cell lines, patient-derived organoids, and xenograft models reveal that PRMT1 promotes tumor growth and CBP resistance through a novel, methyltransferase-independent mechanism. Conditional PRMT1 knockout suppresses tumorigenesis and enhances CBP sensitivity in vivo, highlighting its essential role in HNSCC progression. Mechanistically, PRMT1 recruits the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex via direct interaction with SMARCC1, leading to the transcriptional activation of insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2), which enhances CBP resistance and tumor growth. Notably, this function is independent of PRMT1's enzymatic activity, distinguishing it from its well-established roles in arginine methylation.

To address these challenges, a novel therapeutic strategy employing a cationic liposome-based biomimetic drug co-delivery system, siPFKFB4/PRL PTX @RBCM-cRGD, which simultaneously delivers paclitaxel and PFKFB4-targeting small interfering RNA (siRNA) to SCLC cells and tissues is proposed. These findings demonstrate that this co-delivery system can induce ferroptosis in SCLC cells, thereby enhancing their sensitivity to paclitaxel. Moreover, It promotes the infiltration of immune cells and the secretion of cytokines within the SCLC immune microenvironment, effectively activating anti-tumor immunity. When combined with anti-PD-L1 antibodies, it further potentiates anti-tumor immune responses. These results suggest that the biomimetic codelivery system not only induces ferroptosis to enhance paclitaxel efficacy but also reprograms the SCLC immune microenvironment, thereby potentiating the effects of anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy and providing a promising new therapeutic strategy for SCLC.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xiang Liu and Jingjun He and Haoxuan Ying and Cuiying Chen and Chongyang Zheng and Peng Luo and Weiliang Zhu and Ting Wei and Bufu Tang and Jian Zhang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202417374}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {6}, number = {22}, pages = {2417374}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Radioresistance presents a substantial obstacle to achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes for breast cancer treatment. In this study, we develop a cancer cell membrane (CM) - coated nanozyme system (MPPC@CM), specifically designed for radioimmunotherapy to address this issue. This innovative system involves the in situ reduction of platinum and palladium on mesoporous silica nanospheres, followed by functionalization with cinnamaldehyde via surface grafting. The CM coating endows the nanozyme with enhanced tumor-specific targeting capability due to its homing properties. Upon uptake by tumor cells, MPPC@CM catalytically generates O 2 from H 2 O 2 , mitigating the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and reducing radioresistance.     The intracellular glutathione depletion mediated by Michael addition reactions concurrently disrupts endogenous antioxidant defenses against reactive oxygen species (ROS). This redox imbalance is synergistically amplified through nanozyme-mediated catalytic activities including both peroxidase-like and oxidase-like functions. The resultant massive ROS accumulation establishes a self-reinforcing oxidative cascade that ultimately induces functional inactivation of glutathione peroxidase 4. The immunosuppressive environment is remodeled by this disturbance in redox balance, which accelerates ferroptosis and increases CD8 + T-cell infiltration and dendritic cell maturation.

Elucidating the procoagulant mechanism of zeolite is critically important, as it will facilitate the rational design of more effective zeolite-based hemostatic materials. In this study, it is discovered an extremely strong, calcium-dependent interaction between coagulation factor Xa (FXa) and zeolite—termed target-specific biorecognition—that mimics the FXa/factor Va (FXa/FVa) interface formed during the natural coagulation cascade. This interaction alters the prothrombin activation pathway to a more efficient mechanism, significantly amplifying FXa activity. Notably, the complex structure and FXa activity can be reversibly modulated through Na + /Ca 2+ ion exchange of zeolites, offering a novel strategy for dynamically tuning enzymatic activity. Furthermore, this protein-zeolite based biorecognition system, mediated by reversible interactions, represents a promising biomimetic platform for regulating protein bioactivity in cell-free applications, extending its utility beyond hemostatic material development.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Chaojie Shi and Meijuan He and Hao Chen and Xuefei Wei and Liping Xiao and Xiaoqiang Shang and Yifeng Shi and Qi Wang and Lisha Yu and Jie Fan}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202417099}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {6}, number = {22}, pages = {2417099}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has emerged as a promising noninvasive approach for tumor therapy. However, the effectiveness of traditional inorganic semiconductor sonosensitizers is hindered by rapid electron (e − ) and hole (h + ) recombination under ultrasonic (US) stimulation, as well as the hypoxic and reductive conditions of tumor microenvironment (TME), which limit the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, a ruthenium (Ru) single-atom nanozyme-driven superimposition-enhanced titanium dioxide-based sonosensitizer (Ru/TiO 2-x SAE) is presented that features sufficient oxygen vacancies and high e − /h + separation efficiency. Through synchrotron radiation-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy and extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis it is confirmed that oxygen vacancies in TiO 2-x nanoparticles promote the immobilization of single-atomic Ru, forming Ru-O₄ active sites. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that oxygen vacancies alter the electronic structure of nanosensitizer, enhanced e − /h + separation, increasing oxygen adsorption, and accelerating reaction kinetics under US stimulation, ultimately improving ROS production. Moreover, Ru/TiO 2-x SAE boosts sonodynamic efficacy by mitigating the hypoxic and reductive TME. This is attributed to its catalase- and glutathione peroxidase 4-like activities, which facilitate the generation of ROS and trigger lipid peroxidation-mediated ferroptosis.

Here, the application and mechanism of ultrasound cavitation for rapid, initiator-free, and oxygen-tolerant fabrication of tough anti-freezing hydrogels is reported. By incorporating polyol solvents and interpenetrating polymers into the gelling solution, radical generation is amplified and network formation is enhanced. Using tough polyacrylamide-alginate hydrogels as a model system, rapid gelation (as fast as 2 minutes) and high fracture toughness (up to 600 J m − 2 ) is demonstrated. By varying ultrasound intensity, crosslinker-to-monomer ratio, and glycerol concentration, the synthesis-structure-property relation is established for the resulting sonogels and the underlying mechanism is uncovered using combined molecular, optical, and mechanical testing techniques. The coupling of gelation and convection under ultrasound results in sonogels with unique structural and mechanical properties.

Herein, a corrosion-resistant NiFe layered double hydroxide electrode (CAPist-S1) is reported as a high-performance electrocatalyst for seawater oxidation, achieving an industrial-level current density of 1.0 A cm −2 at overpotentials of 200 and 220 mV in alkaline simulated (1 M KOH + 0.5 M NaCl) and natural (1 M KOH + seawater) seawater, respectively, along with extraordinary long-term stability over 9000 h under 1.0 A cm −2 in alkaline natural seawater. A dense NiFe LDH interlayer generated between the NiFe LDH nanosheets and metal substrate is found to efficiently retard the penetration of Cl − ions to the substrate surface, improving the resistance to Cl − ions corrosion. Furthermore, this dense interlayer is an essential prerequisite for establishing a dynamic equilibrium between Fe leaching and redeposition over the in situ formed FeOOH, and this dynamic equilibrium can in turn stabilize the dense interlayer, maintaining the activity of CAPist-S1 during prolonged electrolysis. Using CAPist-S1 in an anion exchange membrane (AEM) seawater electrolyzer, the obtained electrolyzer stably functions over 700 h at 1.0 A cm −2 under room temperature, indicating promising prospects for industrial seawater electrolysis application.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jian Du and Zhiheng Li and Linqin Wang and Yunxuan Ding and Wentao Ye and Wenxing Yang and Licheng Sun}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202416661}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {6}, number = {22}, pages = {2416661}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Binary amphiphile mixtures containing either of these ligands, spontaneously self-assemble on carboxylic acid terminated SAMs on gold or glass surfaces to form rSAMs that are easily tunable with respect to the ligand ratio. It is shown that this results in the ability to construct multi-reusable surfaces featuring strong affinity for the bacterial adhesin and recognitive surfaces for bacteria, the latter demonstrated by incubating a culture of PA or the oral commensal species Streptococcus gordonii (SG) on either Gal or SA functionalized rSAMs. In contrast to the mobile ligand display, surfaces featuring covalently attached “static” ligands exhibited low LecA affinity.

  @article{ , abstract = {Despite the recent successes of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in treating advanced melanoma, durable clinical responses still remain limited. To boost immune responses, agents that target immune regulators, such as the Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) agonist cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), are being investigated. However, their clinical translation is impeded by poor serum stability, rapid tissue clearance, and T-cell death due to off-target activation. Recently, a novel strategy termed Microbubble-assisted UltraSound-guided Immunotherapy of Cancer (MUSIC) has been reported to selectively deliver cGAMP directly into the cytosol of antigen-presenting cells with spatiotemporal control. The resulting activation of STING and downstream proinflammatory pathways produces antitumor effects in murine models of breast cancer.

Despite its importance, HRR's role in cancer progression is not fully elucidated. Here, this work shows that nuclear-localized branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase (BCKDK) acts as a modulator of HRR, promoting cell resistance against DNA damage-inducing therapy in breast cancer. Mechanistically, this work demonstrates that BCKDK is localized in the nucleus and phosphorylates RNF8 at Ser157, preventing the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of RAD51, thereby facilitating HRR-mediated DNA repair under replication stress. Notably, aberrant expression of the BCKDK/p-RNF8/RAD51 axis correlates with breast cancer progression and poor patient survival. Furthermore, this work identifies a small molecule inhibitor of BCKDK, GSK180736A, that disrupts its HRR function and exhibits strong tumor suppression when combined with DNA damage-inducing drugs.

A global collection of whole-genome resequencing data is utilized from 418 pigs to generate comprehensive dataset, including single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as well as SVs. The analysis reveals incomplete linkage disequilibrium between SVs and adjacent SNPs, highlighting the limitations of conventional SNP-based analyses in capturing the genetic effects of SVs. By examining both population-level SNPs and SVs, bidirectional introgression between Chinese and European pig populations is characterized. It is identified 3558 bidirectional introgressed genomic segments and 30 SVs, with haplotypes at BMP2 , which are associated with improved body size. The origin and allele frequency trajectory of the BMP2 segment are further validated using ancient genomes, suggesting that the body size-enhancing haplotype likely originated from ancient European populations and has since maintained a relatively high allele frequency.

  @article{ , abstract = {Ferroptosis, a form of iron-dependent cell death, plays a pivotal role in age-related diseases; yet, its impact on cellular senescence and healthspan in mammals remains largely unexplored. This study identifies ferroptosis as a key regulator of cellular senescence, showing that its inhibition can significantly delay aging and extend healthspan across multiple species. During cellular senescence, ferroptosis is progressively exacerbated, marked by increased lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress, and diminished glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) levels. Ferroptosis inducers such as Erastin and RSL3 accelerate senescence; while, inhibitors such as liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1) and ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) effectively mitigate both chemically and replicatively induced senescence. In vivo, Fer-1 extends lifespan and healthspan in Caenorhabditis elegans , enhances motor function, preserves tissue integrity, and mitigates cognitive decline in both prematurely and naturally aged mice. These effects are attributed to Fer-1's upregulation of GPX4 and inhibition of ferroptosis. Notably, long-term Fer-1 treatment (over 6 months) does not adversely affect body weight or induce aging-related tissue damage but rejuvenates hematological parameters.

Enzyme-free signal amplification DNA circuits have facilitated the detection of low-abundance miRNAs. However, these methods may neglect the diagnostic value (or weight) of different miRNAs.

Polymerase-mediated strand displacement is employed to assign weights to target miRNAs, reflecting the miRNAs’ diagnostic values, followed by amplification of the weighted signals using localized DNA catalytic hairpin assembly. This method is applied to diagnose miRNAs for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Machine learning is used to identify NSCLC-specific miRNAs and assign corresponding weights for optimum classification of healthy and lung cancer individuals.

Consistently, the amplification and overexpression of COPS5 are frequently observed in clinical HCC samples, which are associated with poor patient prognosis and might predict patient response to sorafenib therapy. Mechanistically, COPS5 stabilized mitogen-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) through deubiquitination and, in turn, induced the activation of heat shock protein beta-1 (HSPB1), a ferroptosis repressor, thereby protecting HCC cells from ferroptosis and consequently leading to sorafenib resistance and tumor progression, while its own expression could be induced by sorafenib treatment via activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4)-activated transcription.

  @article{ , abstract = {Metal filamentation based mechanisms have the advantage of a high switching current ratio, yet typically require high switching voltages to activate the memristive device due to the primary mechanism of atomic vacancy filling and movement. Herein, Introducing non-reactive nitrogen gas during plasma sputtering of silver is shown to prime the overlying metal nitride layer to achieve low threshold switching at applied biases of below 60 millivolts. Residual nitrogen species within the silver under-layer promote the creation of nano-sized void defects within the superjacent dielectric layer, which, coupled with residual stresses in the gigapascal range, enable sub-micron filamentation growth. These memristor devices function similarly to potassium ion channels, displaying current growth and relaxation patterns that align with the Hodgkin-Huxley model, and as such are amenable to the development of artificial neuron structures. Further, a diverse set of neuromorphic behaviors not seen within typical metal filamentation based memristors is observed. This includes multi-peak synaptic weight changes in the device's response to spiked stimuli. Both the switching voltages and neuromorphic properties are linked to the nitrogen-argon pressure during silver deposition. Interestingly, these devices also exhibit lateral growth of silver filamentation across the surface of the metal nitride thin film layer with gaps of more than a hundred micrometers, suggesting that the underlying silver undergoes accumulation and breakthrough. The filling of large micro-voids with Ag generates large nanoparticles that easily propagate, enabling a large diffusion front and faster filamentation time, whereas small micro-voids create a bottleneck in the filamentation process.

Here, the systematic experimental investigation on a series of light elements (C, F, S) modified LaFe 11.6 Si 1.4 compounds are presented. It is found that all modified samples exhibit a higher T C , with a negligible impact on the thermal hysteresis.

Additionally, an increased population of activated CD8 + T cells is observed in the DC- Irf8 overexpressed mice, while the DC- Irf8 deletion mice show a decrease in these cells. Blocking antigen cross-presentation to CD8 + T cells also reduces AAA progression.

This study proposes a new concept of AS-ALD on “ homogeneous ” surfaces comprising a single material.

The SF 6 decomposes and incorporates into oxygen vacancies in ZrO 2 , forming F-terminated surface at grain boundaries (GBs). In the following step, the remaining hydroxyl-terminated ZrO 2 areas are blocked by a cyclopentadienyl ligand to prevent aluminum precursor adsorption. Density functional theory and Monte Carlo simulations show that selectively passivated GBs of ZrO 2 lead to the selective adsorption of ZrCp(NMe 2 ) 3 inhibitors. Selective growth of Al 2 O 3 along GBs of ZrO 2 is observed by elemental mapping from transmission electron microscopy. Finally, GB-selective Al 2 O 3 increases overalldielectric constant by 15.5% in ZrO 2 /Al 2 O 3 /ZrO 2 stacks with no increase in leakage currents, showing that the GB-selective Al 2 O 3 incorporation suffices to passivate leakage paths through ZrO 2 GBs.

Harnessing state-of-the-art nutritional geometry analytical methods, it is first revealed that globally, increased carbohydrate supply is associated with increased MS disease burden, while fat supply has an opposite effect. Furthermore, in a MS mouse model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), it is found that an isocaloric diet high in carbohydrate aggravated EAE, while a diet enriched in fat (HF) is fully protective. This is reflected by reduced neuroinflammation and skewing toward anti-inflammatory phenotypes. The protective effects from the HF diet are multifaceted.

As a novel biomarker, the composition of the gut microbiota is non-invasively tested and altered in patients with ITP. This study aims to develop a predictive model that leverages gut microbiome data to predict the CS response in patients with ITP within the initial four weeks of treatment. Metagenomic sequencing is performed on fecal samples from 212 patients with ITP, 152 of whom underwent CS treatment and follow-up. Predictive models are trained using six machine-learning algorithms, integrating clinical indices and gut microbiome data. The support vector machine (SVM) algorithm-based model has the highest accuracy (AUC = 0.80). This model utilized a comprehensive feature set that combined clinical data (including sex, age, duration, platelet count, and bleeding scales) with selected microbial species (including Bacteroides ovatus , Bacteroides xylanisolvens , and Parabacteroides gordonii ), alpha diversities, KEGG pathways, and microbial modules.

  @article{ , abstract = {Nucleic acid-based cryptographic approaches are an innovative emerging field for information process. However, the poor reproducibility and interference from bioenvironment of the existing decryption led to different binary translation according to the fixed threshold defined by “Sender”, which seriously affects the authenticity during message communication. Here, a programmed DNA constitutional dynamic network (CDN)-derived adaptive threshold is shown, which is defined by the difference value of the two groups of the output patterns from CDN. Under external stimuli, the threshold is adaptive to the generated dynamic output patterns, which avoids the contrary binary translation from a slight difference on the output under fixed threshold. Importantly, there are two self-calibrating patterns in each output group and the total concentration of constituents from the CDN system are constant, which greatly eliminates the data error. The CDN system is accompanied by computational simulation, which can predict the output patterns of the system at different states. The CDN is used to control the orthogonal and cascaded nanoparticle-based molecular amplifiers to expand the volume of the transmitting message, as well as allow the accurate and specific sensing of DNA.

Apoptotic vesicles (ApoVs) derived from mesenchymal stem/ stromal cells (MSCs-ApoVs) as natural lipid nanoparticles are attractive candidates for the next generation of immunotherapies.

This research utilized contact hypersensitivity and oral lichenoid reaction models, both of which represent type IV hypersensitivity reactions. ApoVs are shown that derived from stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED-ApoVs), a subtype of MSCs, directly fused with the plasma membrane of CD8 + T cells, subsequently increasing membrane permeability through L-type voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels. This initiates a cascade of events including calcium overload, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the initiation of apoptosis in these cells. As known, this is the first study to characterize SHED-ApoVs as immune microenvironment modulators, demonstrating their therapeutic potential and mechanism in these reactions. Moreover, analysis of blood samples from patients with oral lichenoid reactions verified the antihypersensitivity property of SHED-ApoVs.

Early detection of tumors can be an effective way to reduce mortality, however, traditional cancer diagnostic methods are based on the detection of organ dysfunction, which generally occurs at advanced stages of the disease. The first signs of disease initiation appear much earlier as molecular abnormalities yet are challenging to detect. An advanced design of microbubbles is reported that allows molecular targeting for subsequent binding to tumor cells. The microbubbles consist of perfluorocarbon gas encapsulated in a functional and stable shell made of a surface-active protein (hydrophobin HFBI from Trichoderma reesei ) and corresponding fusion protein (HFBI-domZ) onto which antibodies can be easily grafted. The functionality of the bubbles is investigated, among others, using cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), confocal microscopy, and in vitro experiments.

However, their clinical translation still faces multiple challenges, including rapid clearance by the reticuloendothelial system (RES), poor targeting specificity, and insufficient efficiency in crossing biological barriers. To address these limitations, researchers have developed the biological carrier-mediated nanomedicine hitchhiking strategy (BCM-NHS), which leverages circulating cells, proteins, or bacteria as natural “mobile carriers” to enhance drug delivery. This approach enables nanocarriers to inherit the intrinsic biological properties, endowing them with immune evasion, prolonged circulation, dynamic targeting, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and naturally optimized biological interfaces. Here, a systematic overview of the BCM-NHS is provided. First, the review delves into the methods of nanoparticles (NPs) binding and immobilization, encompassing both the surface-attachment-mediated “backpack” strategy and the encapsulation-based “Trojan horse” strategy.

The mechanisms by which Aluminium (Al) impurities permeate the active crystals of spent ternary nickel─cobalt─manganese oxide (NCM) cathode materials and interact with critical metal sites are elucidated. During frictional contact, the substitution of transition metals by Al impurities disrupts the bonding between critical metals and oxygen, leading to the formation of more stable Al─O covalent bonds. Al can preferentially substitute for Co, altering the local coordination and electronic structure of transition metals. Owing to the strong interaction of Al─O, the Fermi level shifts downward, thus increasing the stabilization of lattice oxygen in the NCM cathode materials and consequently delaying the dissolution of NCM cathode materials. In different extraction environments, the invasion of Al retards the release of lattice oxygen and inhibits the dissolution of NCM in formic acid but enhances those in ammonia solution and shows mixed results in deep eutectic solvents.

  @article{ , abstract = {The tetramic acid moiety is a pivotal structural unit in numerous natural products. As an analogue of the simplest tetramic acid compound tenuazonic acid (TeA), sec-pentyl-TeA (S-TeA) exhibits double herbicidal activity of TeA. Here, this work identifies S-TeA as a novel natural product synthesized by Alternaria alternata and three other filamentous fungi. Chiral analysis confirm the absolute configuration of natural S-TeA as (5 S , 6 S ). Configuration-bioactivity studies reveal that natural (5 S , 6 S )-S-TeA is the eutomer and possesses the highest herbicidal activity among all tested diastereomers. Biosynthetic analyses demonstrate that threonine is the precursor to S-TeA, beginning with the production of 2-amino-3-methylhexanoic acid (AMHA) via eight enzymes from the branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) biosynthetic pathway, including threonine deaminase, 2-isopropylmalate synthase (IPMS), 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase (IPMDH), isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (ISMD), acetolactate synthase, ketol-acid reductoisomerase, dihydroxy acid dehydratase, and BCAA aminotransferase. Subsequently, AMHA undergoes acetylation and cyclization by non-ribosomal peptide synthetases to form S-TeA. Distinct differences in the biosynthetic pathways of S-TeA and TeA are identified. In vitro studies confirm the critical roles of three unique enzymes IPMS, IPMDH, and ISMD in S-TeA biosynthesis, which are absent in TeA biosynthesis. These findings provide a solid basis for developing S-TeA as a natural product herbicide.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {He Wang and Yanjing Guo and Qing Liu and Jing Zhang and Qianlong Zhang and Mingying Yang and Qizhen Chen and Sheng Qiang and Bernal E.

  @article{ , abstract = {The valorization of lignocellulosic wastes emerges as a prime strategy to mitigate the global carbon footprint. Among the multiple biomass derivatives, γ-valerolactone is particularly attractive as precursor of high-value chemicals, biofuel, green solvent or perfumery. γ-Valerolactone can be synthesized through a hydrogenation reaction from levulinic acid, obtained from cellulose. However, the high energy requirements of this synthetic pathway have hindered its industrial viability. To drastically reduce the reaction energy requirements, here a novel synthetic strategy, based on solvothermal-photothermal processes using cost-effective Raney-Ni as photothermal catalyst, is proposed. First, the use of hydrogen gas is avoided by selecting isopropanol as a safer and greener H-source. Second, a photothermocatalytic process is used to minimize the reaction temperature and time with respect to conventional reactions. This approach exploits the broadband optical absorption of the Raney®-Ni, due to its highly damped plasmonic behavior, to achieve fast and efficient catalyst heating inside the reactor. The photothermal reaction required less than 2 h and just 132 °C to reach over 95% conversion, thereby drastically reducing the reaction time and energy consumption compared to conventional reactions. Importantly, these conditions granted high catalyst reusability. This solvothermal-photothermal approach could offer a sustainable alternative for the industrial production of γ-valerolactone.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Roger Bujaldón and Arnau Fons and Jaume Garcia-Amorós and Cristina Vaca and Josep Nogués and Maria José Esplandiu and Elvira Gómez and Borja Sepúlveda and Albert Serrà}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202416153}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {6}, number = {21}, pages = {2416153}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {The abnormal activation of the inflammatory microenvironment is frequently accompanied by metabolic changes that affect the development of various diseases. However, the relationship between metabolic reprogramming and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) remains unclear. This study aims to reveal the metabolic changes in nucleus pulposus (NPCs) during IVDD and investigate the mechanism of glycolysis-derived lactate on NPCs. Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals that during IVDD, NPCs are characterized by excessively elevated glycolysis, and the resultant lactate causes the dysfunction of NPCs via ferroptosis activation. Mechanistically, lactate results in the transcription of Acyl-CoA Synthetase Long Chain Family Member 4 (ACSL4) via promoting Histon H3K18 lactylation. Interestingly, lactate can also increase the lactylation of ACSL4 at K412 site. In addition, lactate-induced decreased expression of Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3), and further cause the elevation of ACSL4 lactylation. Finally, animal experiments demonstrate that inhibiting glycolysis through gene silencing with adenoviral-associated viruses 9 (AAV9)-si- Ldha or chemical treatment using 2-deoxy- D -glucose can suppress lactate production and lactylation, thereby ameliorating ferroptosis and NPC dysfunction. The findings of this study indicate that lactate plays a crucial role in IVDD by activating ferroptosis and that interventions aimed at lactate production can offer a potential therapeutical option for patients with IVDD.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Kaiqiang Sun and Yangyang Shi and Chen Yan and Shunmin Wang and Linhui Han and Fudong Li and Ximing Xu and Yuan Wang and Jingchuan Sun and Zijian Kang and Jiangang Shi}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202416149}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {6}, number = {21}, pages = {2416149}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Here, the dynamics of LAL are investigated with non-equilibrium gold-iron nanoalloys generated in the presence of gas-evolving additives, which drive the formation of different nanostructures. With analytical electron microscopy, the structure in the different conditions is properly identified through complete segregation into oxide-metal heterostructures, precipitation of nanoclusters within the nanoalloys, or ordered solid solutions. To elucidate the unforeseen effects of the solutes on the atomic structure of nanoalloys, the early and full dynamics of LAL is investigated with time-resolved experiments, leading to the pivotal evidence that alloying of metastable compounds with different chemical reactivity is favored by decreasing the pressure of the shockwave front.

Using gastric cancer cells and patient-derived organoids (PDO), the role of PTBP3 in promoting tumor invasion and proliferation is investigated. Mechanistically, through full-length transcriptome sequencing, PTBP3 mediates exon 4 skipping in its target gene COX11, leading to shorter transcripts that impair COX11 protein function, reducing mitochondrial copper content and enabling tumor cells to evade cuproptosis. Antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) drugs targeting the short COX11 transcripts effectively degrade mRNA, disrupting copper homeostasis.

These findings demonstrate that plasma asprosin levels are significantly elevated in MASLD patients and animal models. Additionally, asprosin expression increased in the liver of MASLD mice. Hepatocyte-specific overexpression of asprosin impairs mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO), whereas its knockdown not only enhances FAO in mice but also compensates for fenofibrate's limitations in MASLD treatment.

Notably, the expression of Siglec-7 ligands is high in various cancers, such as pancreatic cancer and melanoma and lead to tumor immune evasion. Siglec-7 binds the disialylated ganglioside GD3, a tumor-associated antigen overexpressed on cancer cells to suppress immune responses. Using a combination of structural biology techniques, including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), biophysical, and computational methods, the binding of Siglec-7 to GD3 and Gb3 derivatives is investigated, revealing the importance of ligand conformation in modulating binding energetics and affinity. The greater flexibility of Gb3 derivatives appears to negatively impact binding entropy, leading to lower affinity compared to GD3. A thorough understanding of these interactions could contribute to elucidating molecular mechanisms of cancer immune evasion and facilitate the development of ganglioside-based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for cancer.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Cristina Di Carluccio and Luis Padilla-Cortés and Marta Tiemblo-Martìn and Giulia Roxana Gheorghita and Rosario Oliva and Linda Cerofolini and Alessandro Antonio Masi and Celeste Abreu and Hsin-Kai Tseng and Antonio Molinaro and Pompea Del Vecchio and Ondřej Vaněk and Chun-Cheng Lin and Roberta Marchetti and Marco Fragai and Alba Silipo}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202415782}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {6}, number = {21}, pages = {2415782}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Therefore, improved therapies are urgently required to improve patient outcomes. In this study, metabolic inhibitor drug screening reveals that quinacrine elicits excellent antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo by downregulating intracellular arginine levels in PTCL. Single-cell transcriptomic analyses reveal aberrant arginine metabolism in patients with PTCL, characterized by excessive solute carrier family 3 member 2 (SLC3A2) mediated arginine uptake preferentially in tumor cells. High SLC3A2 expression predicts poor outcomes in PTCL, as SLC3A2-mediated arginine uptake promotes the malignant behaviors of tumor cells and induces tumor immune escape, thereby fueling tumor progression. Mechanistically, high arginine levels induce global metabolic changes, including enhanced oxidative phosphorylation by promoting nascent RNA synthesis.

  @article{ , abstract = {Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease primarily due to the emergence of drug resistance, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs) are prevalent in cancer genomes of both coding and non-coding regions. However, the role of non-coding eccDNA regions that serve as enhancers has been largely overlooked. Here, genome-wide profiling of serum eccDNAs from donors and MM patients who responded well or poorly to bortezomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (VRd) therapy is characterized. A high copy number of eccDNA ANKRD28 (eccANKRD28) predicts poor therapy response and prognosis but enhanced transcriptional activity. Established VRd-resistant MM cell lines exhibit a higher abundance of eccANKRD28, and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated elevation of eccANKRD28 desensitizes bortezomib and lenalidomide treatment both in vitro and in vivo. Integrated multi-omics analysis (H3K27ac ChIP-seq, scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, CUT&Tag, et al.) identifies eccANKRD28 as an active enhancer involved in drug resistance driven by the key transcription factor, POU class 2 homeobox 2 (POU2F2).

Early identification of malignant pulmonary nodules constitutes the most effective approach to reducing the mortality of LUAD. Despite the wide application of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in the early screening of LUAD, the identification of malignant pulmonary nodules by it remains a challenge. In this study, CEACAM6 (also called CD66c) as a potential biomarker is investigated for differentiating malignant lung nodules. Then, the CEACAM6-targeting monoclonal antibody (mAb, tinurilimab) is radiolabeled with 89 Zr and 131 I for theranostic applications. In terms of diagnosis, machine learning confirms CEACAM6 as a specific extracellular marker for discrimination between LUAD and benign nodules.

Here, a thermostable HAMP, myosin light chain 1-like (myosin) is identified, from the salivary sheath of the small brown planthopper (SBPH) Laodelphax striatellus. Myosin is a widely conserved arthropod protein, and acts as an elicitor of BAK1-dependent PTI responses in several plant species. Plants are able to specifically recognize the myosin 41-amino-acid peptide (MP41), which acts as a minimal immunogenic epitope. Furthermore, myosin and MP41 stimulate jasmonic acid and H 2 O 2 production in rice. The resulting defenses not only diminish planthopper performance directly but also induce volatile emissions, attracting a common parasitoid. Additionally, expression of myosin in rice increased plant resistance to a chewing insect as well as to viral and fungal pathogens.

Notably, significantly reduced oxytocin levels are identified specifically during the early postnatal stage in both valproic acid (VPA)-exposed and Fmr1 -KO mouse brains, along with an impairment of the GABA reversal potential and downregulation of the Na + -K + -2Cl − cotransporter (NKCC1) post-birth.

Despite its prevalence in vivo, the impact of confinement on hMSC differentiation remains poorly understood. To address these questions, a physiologically relevant, flow-free polydimethylsiloxane-based microchannel system with confining widths ranging from 3 to 10 µm in width, is developed. In these microchannel systems, it is found that hMSCs migrate faster and experience significant nuclear deformation in 3 µm wide channels compared to wider 10 µm channels. These morphological changes persist for days postexit, implying that stem cells possess a mechanical memory of their past confined migration. High degrees of nuclear deformation also correlated with substantial changes in genome regulation, as cells displayed significant H3K9 acetylation postconfinement. In these postconfinement stem cells, significantly higher expression levels of RUNX2 along with a higher degree of nuclear-to-cytoplasmic shuttling are found, suggesting that short confined migration can stimulate osteogenic differentiation.

Herein, a facile multiscale coupling strategy is proposed to synthesize the nanosheet-stacked rods (NVMP-NSRs) with rational defects for improving intrinsic conductivity and structural stability, thus accelerating electrochemical responses. Localized unsaturated coordination states around vanadium atoms in NVMP-NSRs are also regulated, further facilitating rapid Na + diffusion with relieved volume expansion due to the unique architecture design. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal highly rearranged interfacial charges, yielding benefits for reducing the energy barriers of Na + migration. The innovative NVMP-NSRs with appropriate bulk defects exhibit considerable discharge capacity (120.1 mAh g −1 at 0.5C), high-rate performance (70.9 mAh g −1 at 30C), and negligible capacity decay (3000 cycles at 20C). Moreover, the assembled NVMP-NSRs//hard carbon full cells demonstrate a high energy density of 391.1 Wh kg −1 with excellent cyclic stability (91.2% after 100 cycles at 1C).

  @article{ , abstract = {Liver fibrosis, a common pathological process, severely impacts human health, yet effective treatments are lacking. Cuproptosis, a newly discovered form of cell death induced by copper ions, triggers cytotoxic stress through lipoylated protein oligomerization and may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for liver fibrosis. However, the mechanisms underlying cuproptosis in liver fibrosis are not well understood. During liver fibrosis progression, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activate, proliferate, and secrete extracellular matrix components, contributing to fibrosis. Activated HSCs also undergo lipophagy, the degradation of lipid droplets. The study shows that Ras-related protein Rab-18 (RAB18), a protein involved in lipid metabolism, inhibits lipophagy, upregulates Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A), and promotes succinylation of dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) at site K320, triggering cuproptosis in HSCs. Diallyl trisulfides (DATs), a garlic-derived compound, induces phase separation of RAB18 and promotes mitochondrial-associated membrane structures (MAMs) formation, further accelerating RAB18 phase separation. DATs selectively protects hepatocytes while activating cuproptosis in HSCs. Interfering with RAB18 expression reverses the DATs-induced inhibition of lipophagy and cuproptosis. These findings, confirmed in primary cells, human liver stellate cells (LX2), rodent models and clinical samples, suggest that DATs, by targeting RAB18 and inducing its phase separation, subsequently inhibit lipophagy and promote cuproptosis, making it a promising therapeutic approach for liver fibrosis.

Lactylation of MeCP2, a transcriptional regulator, is identified as a protective mechanism against stroke-induced neuronal death. Inhibition of MeCP2 lactylation through chemical or genetic manipulation increases infarct volume and aggravates neurological deficits.

In this study, single-cell transcriptomes of neutrophils isolated from the blood of healthy donors and MI/RI patients are analyzed. The results reveal that MI/RI neutrophils transition from a high IFIT1 expression profile into four distinct states, two of which exhibit elevated MMP9 transcription. These MMP9 High neutrophil subpopulations are instrumental in the NET formation and correlate positively with the severity of MI/RI. Further investigation identifies the transcription factor SPI1 as a key regulator of this transition, acting through modulation of CST7 expression.

  @article{ , abstract = {Photopolymerizable liquid crystals, also known as reactive mesogens, are leading candidates for additive manufacturing of smart microdevices via two-photon lithography (TPL). While substantial advancements are made toward innovative applications, precise control of molecular alignment during fabrication, essential for tailoring complex optical and mechanical responses, remains a significant challenge. Current solutions require elaborate multi-step procedures or customized setups to achieve 2D or 3D alignment patterns. Herein, the deterministic effect of TPL on the orientation of mesogenic moieties is reported, under optimized printing conditions. Specifically, a single-step simple method is developed for aligning the nematic director in situ, with sub-diffraction-limited resolution, during 3D printing. Based on the conventional TPL workflow, the “director-tuning mode” (DiTuM) relies on the anisotropic photopolymerization reaction occurring along the print path at low laser scan speeds (≈0.1mm s −1 ). A TPL-induced “easy axis” arises for the mesogenic moieties, programmable in direction and strength, and competes with the initial alignment to create potentially convolute 3D director fields.

Here, a streamlined PDAC EV Surface Protein Assay for quantifying PDAC EV subpopulations in 300-µL plasma through a two-step workflow is presented: i) click chemistry-mediated EV enrichment using EV Click Beads and trans-cyclooctene-grafted antibodies targeting three PDAC EV-specific surface proteins (MUC1, EGFR, and TROP2), and ii) quantification of enriched PDAC EVs through reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

To enhance the hepatic delivery of C 27 H 26 N 2 O 4 S, it utilizes exosomes derived from hepatic stellate cells (HSC-EVs). Biodistribution analysis confirmed that the HSC-EVs preferentially accumulated in the liver. In a MASH mouse model, HSC-EV-encapsulated C 27 H 26 N 2 O 4 S (C 27 H 26 N 2 O 4 S@HSC-EV) significantly reduced hepatic lipid accumulation and alleviated MASH severity and fibrosis.

Tungsten (W) doped Bi 3 TiNbO 9 (Bi 3 TiNbO 9 -W) as a photocatalyst exhibits enhanced anisotropic migration of photogenerated electrons and holes, which play a key role in reducing the overpotential in the discharge and charge processes, enabling the desirable spatial separation of carriers. Benefiting from the driving force for charge separation, the photocatalytic oxygen reduction and evolution reaction activity is largely improved. As a result, the Bi 3 TiNbO 9 -W-based Li–O 2 batteries have shown incremental round-trip efficiencies of 95.9% based on the ultra-high discharge voltage (3.25 V) and ultra-low charge voltage (3.39 V). Besides, the constructed photo-assisted Li–O 2 batteries deliver a high rate capability and ultralong durability within 960 h.

The absence of CXCL13 resulted in alleviation of EAE symptoms, as evidenced by a reduced clinical score, decreased barrier damage, as well as diminished demyelination and inflammatory response in the spinal cord. In the BSCB model, CXCL13 was found to impair barrier structure and function in a dose- and time-dependent manner, which was associated with exacerbated autophagy in endothelial cells, while the application of autophagy inhibitors partially mitigated this damage.

However, the potential interplay between GLS1-mediated glutamate production and arterial calcification remains poorly understood. Here, LC-MS/MS analysis of CKD patients’ samples shows an abnormally elevated activity of GLS1, reflected by the increased glutamate/glutamine ratio. Moreover, GLS1 activity is positively correlated with arterial calcification progression, and its expression is upregulated in calcified arteries. Treatment with GLS1 inhibitors or knockdown of GLS1 alleviates osteogenic reprogramming. In contrast, glutamate administration boosts the development of arterial calcification.

To address these challenges, a simple electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing technology is first proposed to in situ manufacture large-area, high-quality OIHPF crystals or flexible films at low temperatures, without substrate or size limitations. The obtained TMCM-CdBrCl 2 film has a high coverage of 99.83%. Notably, it has a crystallinity of 80.35% and a superior piezoelectric coefficient that is 72% and 5.8 times higher than that of the non-EHD-printed sample, respectively. The flexible piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) based on this film can endure over 200 000 bending cycles—the highest value recorded to date. This approach also shows strong feasibility and broad applicability in creating different OIHPF films or crystals, providing valuable scientific insight for the large-scale and integrated development of flexible OIHPF-based electronics.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jingjing Luo and Zhongqi Ren and Xue Qi and Qiang Pan and Dong Li and Yuan Xiong and Jie Yao and Haipeng Liu and Suzhu Yu and Jun Wei}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202414122}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {6}, number = {21}, pages = {2414122}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Leukocytes forge paths through interstitial spaces by exerting forces to overcome confining mechanical pressures provided by surrounding cells. While such mechanical cues regulate leukocyte motility, engineering an in vitro system that models the deformable cellular environment encountered in vivo has been challenging. Here, microchannels are constructed with a liquid-liquid interface that exerts confining pressures similar to cells in tissues, and thus, is deformable by cell-generated forces. Consequently, the balance between migratory cell-generated and interfacial pressures determines the degree of confinement. Pioneer cells that first contact the interfacial barrier require greater deformation forces to forge a path for migration, and as a result migrate slower than trailing cells. Critically, resistive pressures are tunable by controlling the curvature of the liquid interface, which regulates motility. By granting cells autonomy in determining their confinement, and tuning environmental resistance, interfacial deformations match those of surrounding cells in vivo during interstitial neutrophil migration in a larval zebrafish model. It is discovered that neutrophils employ a bleb-based mechanism of force generation to deform a soft barrier exerting cell-scale confining pressures. In all, this work introduces a tunable in vitro material interface that replicates confining pressures applied by soft tissue environments.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jonathan H.

  @article{ , abstract = {Computational microscopy enhances the space-bandwidth product and corrects aberrations for high-fidelity imaging by reconstructing complex optical wavefronts. Phase retrieval, a core technique in computational microscopy, faces challenges maintaining consistency between physical and real-world imaging formation, as physical models idealize real phenomena. The discrepancy between ideal and actual imaging formation limits the application of computational microscopy especially in non-ideal situations. Here, the feature-domain consistency for achieving high-fidelity computational microscopy is introduced. Feature-domain consistency tells that certain features, such as edges, textures, or patterns of an image, remain invariant in different image transformations, degradations, or representations. Leveraging the feature-domain consistency, Feature-Domain Phase Retrieval (FD-PR) is proposed, a framework applicable to various computational microscopy. Instead of working directly with images' pixel values, FD-PR uses image features to guide the reconstruction of optical wavefronts and takes advantage of invariance components of images against mismatches of physical models. Experimental studies, across diverse phase retrieval microscopic tasks, including coded/Fourier ptychography, inline holography, and aberration correction, demonstrate that FD-PR improves resolution by a factor of 1.5 and reduces noise levels by a factor of 2. The proposed framework can immediately benefit a wide range of computational microscopies, such as X-ray ptychography, diffraction tomography, and wavefront shaping.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Shuhe Zhang and An Pan and Hongbo Sun and Yidong Tan and Liangcai Cao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202413975}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {6}, number = {21}, pages = {2413975}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Postnatally, a marked decrease in KLF1 expression occurred almost simultaneously with a reduction in myocardial regenerative capacity. Through comprehensive in vivo and in vitro studies, it is demonstrated that in neonatal and adult mice, KLF1 overexpression significantly increased cardiomyocyte proliferation and promoted myocardial repair following infarction, whereas KLF1 knockout abolished these effects.

  @article{ , abstract = {Meisoindigo (Mei) has been clinically utilized for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), yet the precise molecular targets by which it exerts effects remain unclear. Through activity-based protein profiling (ABPP), the protein kinase, membrane-associated tyrosine/threonine 1 (PKMYT1) is identified as a direct target of Mei. Specifically, Mei forms a selective and reversible covalent bond with the Cys301 residue of PKMYT1, triggering its K48-linked polyubiquitination and accelerating proteasomal degradation, which is mediated by the E3 ligase TRIM25. The study reveals that Mei acts as a molecular glue, enhancing the interaction between PKMYT1 and TRIM25 by approximately 30-fold, thereby facilitating efficient PKMYT1 degradation. Further investigations reveal the pivotal role of PKMYT1 in cell growth. Knockdown of PKMYT1 in K562 cells induces G2/M phase arrest, enhances early apoptosis, and inhibits cell proliferation. In an orthotopic xenograft model, PKMYT1 knockdown delays leukemia progression and reduces lymph node metastasis, reinforcing its role in CML progression and metastasis.

First, it creates neighbor graphs from gene expression and spatial coordinates, and then combines these with gene expression through multi-view learning to learn low-dimensional representations. To further refine the obtained low-dimensional representations, a graph contrastive learning method with contrastive enhancement in the latent space is employed, aiming to better capture critical information in the data and improve the accuracy and discriminative power of the embeddings. Finally, an attention mechanism is used to adaptively integrate different views, capturing the importance of spots in various views to obtain the final spot representation.

Lysine demethylase 6A (KDM6A), a H3K27 demethylase and key component of the COMPASS complex, is frequently mutated in hematologic malignancies, but its roles in embryonic hematopoiesis and tumor suppression in CMML remain unclear. Using zebrafish models with kdm6a mutants and integrative multi-omics analysis (ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, ChIP), we find that Kdm6a is a critical positive regulator of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) emergence via Syk-related inflammatory signaling in a H3K27me3-dependent manner. We further find that Kdm6a haploinsufficiency in zebrafish leads to myeloid-biased hematopoiesis and a CMML-like disease, similar to CMML patients with reduced KDM6A expression. This KDM6A haploinsufficiency also significantly alters the chromatin landscape of genes associated with aging and cellular homeostasis in HSPCs. Mechanistically, KAM6A haploinsufficiency represses SOCS3 expression, thereby activating JAK/STAT3 signaling in HSPCs.

  @article{ , abstract = {The global prevalence of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) has a rising trend.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of early-life gut microbiota colonization on the susceptibility to adulthood hepatic lipid accumulation in high-fat-diet (HFD)-fed mice. The results showed that perinatal AM exposure exacerbated adulthood hepatic lipid accumulation and altered hepatic lipid profile in HFD-fed male but not female offspring. Perinatal AM exposure does not affect hepatic lipid metabolic genes in adult offspring. Instead, perinatal AM exposure inhibited intestinal bile acid (BA) metabolism to reduce secondary BAs production, thereby promoting dietary lipid absorption. Mechanistically, perinatal AM exposure permanently reduces species diversity of the microbial community and impairs its structure and function by disrupting early-life gut microbiota colonization. Supplementing Lactobacillus during lactation improved gut microbiota colonization and intestinal BA metabolism, thereby alleviating HFD-induced hepatic lipid deposition.

This paper systematically reviews the latest research achievements and future trends in surfactant-assisted COF synthesis, emphasizing the crucial role of surfactants as key additives in the preparation of COFs. Surfactants not only facilitate uniform nucleation and growth of COFs, enhancing the crystallinity and structural order of the products but also enable precise and diverse regulation of the dimensionality, morphology, and structure of COFs.

Recent RHEAs, such as WTaCrV and WTaCrVHf, have shown superior radiation tolerance and microstructural stability compared to pure W, but their multi-element compositions complicate bulk fabrication and limit practical use. In this study, it is demonstrated that reducing alloying elements in RHEAs is feasible without compromising radiation tolerance.

Here, integrated single-cell RNA sequencing analysis is utilized to comprehensively map CAFs in the human PDAC tumor microenvironment (TME). Normal fibroblasts (NFs) and nine distinct CAF subtypes are identified including newly identified CAF subtypes, CDCP1 + FTL + CAFs, transitional CAFs (tCAFs), interferon simulated genes (ISG) + myofibroblastic CAFs (myCAFs), and proliferative CAFs (pCAFs). CDCP1 + FTL + CAFs, pCAFs, and ISG + myCAFs are associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. CDCP1 + FTL + CAFs exhibit enhanced glycolysis and iron metabolism, resisting ferroptosis. The antigen-presenting CAFs (apCAFs) show high heterogeneity, consisting of multiple subtypes expressing distinct immune cell signatures. The CAF subtypes display differentiation plasticity, transitioning from early normal-like CAFs (nCAFs) to inflammatory CAFs (iCAFs) and myCAFs, ultimately leading to more invasive pCAFs. AP-1 family members FOS and JUN regulate the malignant phenotype conversion of NFs to nCAFs, while transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) and interferon-γ (IFNγ) signals trigger the interconversion between classic myCAFs and iCAFs, respectively.

  @article{ , abstract = {Osteoarthritis (OA) progression is closely related to dysregulated glycolysis. As the primary metabolite of glycolysis, lactate plays a detrimental role in OA. However, how lactate exacerbates OA process remains unclear. Here, this study revealed that lactate levels are elevated in the synovial fluid of OA patients and IL-1β-treated human primary chondrocytes, promoting protein pan-lactylation. Functionally, hyper-lactylation exacerbates chondrocytes extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and cell apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) is proven to be the key lactylated protein in lactate-treated chondrocytes, which undergoes lactylation at lysine 6 (K6). Lactylated UGDH repressed its enzymatic activity, reducing glycosaminoglycan synthesis and disregulating its nuclear-cytoplasmic distribution. Mechanistically, K6 lactylation of UGDH impedes the interaction of UGDH and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), thus promoting the transcription of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 8 (MAP3K8) and activating the MAPK signaling pathway. Importantly, in vitro and in vivo treatment with A485, a specific acyltransferase P300 inhibitor, suppressed UGDH lactylation and rescued chondrocytes ECM degradation and OA progression.

  @article{ , abstract = {DNA methylation regulators play critical roles in modulating oncogenic driver genes in cancers. However, the precise mechanisms through which these DNA methylation regulators influence oncogenesis and clinical therapy have yet to be fully elucidated. This study reveals that hypermethylation of under-methylated regions (UMRs) within gene bodies is involved in the activation of oncogenic homeobox genes, particularly NKX2-5 and LHX1, in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Mechanistically, NKX2-5 and LHX1 synergistically bind to the promoter region of UHRF1 , thereby augmenting its transcription. In turn, UHRF1 orchestrates the recruitment of DNMT1/DNMT3A, alongside NKX2-5 and LHX1, to the UMRs of these genes, thereby increasing DNA methylation levels and their expression. This intricate interplay forms a positive transcriptional feedback loop between NKX2-5/LHX1 and UHRF1, thus promoting the overexpression of all three genes and ultimately facilitating tumor growth. Notably, concurrent inhibition of UHRF1 and DNMTs impedes tumor growth by suppressing NKX2-5 and LHX1 expression.

  @article{ , abstract = {Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by cancer cells surrounded by affluent stromal components, which may underlie their limited response to various therapeutic interventions, including immunotherapy. Inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts (iCAFs), a crucial subset of CAFs within the PDAC microenvironment, play a pivotal role in shaping an immunosuppressive microenvironment. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing analysis is performed to screen for cancer cells-secreted proteins associated with iCAF induction, and PPY (pancreatic polypeptide) is validated as a potent inducer. Unlike previously reported iCAF inducers, PPY is a gastrointestinal hormone predominantly expressed in the pancreas, suggesting that targeting it may have minimal systemic effects. Multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC) on human PDAC tissue microarrays, orthotopic allograft mouse models, and co-culture experiments are utilized to validate the crucial role of PPY in iCAF induction. Mechanistic studies integrating mRNA sequencing, immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry, and molecular docking reveal that PPY induces iCAFs by activating the non-canonical NF-κB pathway through EGFR. Importantly, targeting PPY enhanced the efficacy of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in KPC ( Kras LSL-G12D/+ ; Trp53 LSL-R172H/+ ; Pdx1 -Cre) mice, as evidenced by reduced tumor burden on PET-CT imaging and improved survival.

Our results reveal simultaneous, frequency-specific brain networks during resting state, such as the default mode, alpha-band, and motor-beta networks.

Furthermore, auditory stimulation significantly enhances cross-frequency coupling, with the phase of auditory networks attuned to the stimulation modulating gamma band amplitude in medial temporal lobe networks.

GaLMAs can be transformed into liquid metal emulsions (LMEs) to modify their rheology for facile patterning, processing, and material integration for GaLMA-based device fabrication. One drawback of using LMEs is reduced electrical conductivity owing to the oxides that form on the surface of dispersed liquid metal droplets. LMEs thus need to be activated by coalescing liquid metal droplets into an electrically conductive network, which usually involves techniques that subject the LME to harsh conditions. This study presents a way to coalesce these droplets through a chemical reaction at mild temperatures ( T ∼ 80 °C). Chemical activation is enabled by adding halide compounds into the emulsion that chemically etch the oxide skin on the surface of dispersed droplets of eutectic gallium indium (eGaIn).

Through comprehensive analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets and functional assays in vitro and in vivo, NUPR1 is identified as a critical regulator within TAMs. The upregulation of NUPR1 is associated with enhanced M2 macrophage polarization and increased expression of immune checkpoints PD-L1 and SIRPA, resulting in CD8+ T cell exhaustion and a diminished response to immunotherapy. Mechanistically, NUPR1 inhibits the ERK and JNK signaling pathways, thereby creating an immunosuppressive milieu conducive to tumor progression. Additionally, tumor-derived lactate is shown to upregulate NUPR1 expression in macrophages via histone lactylation, perpetuating a feedback loop that intensifies immune suppression. Pharmacological targeting of NUPR1 reverses M2 polarization, curtails tumor growth, and augments the efficacy of PD-1 blockade in preclinical models, positioning NUPR1 as both a potential biomarker for immunotherapy responsiveness and a therapeutic target to boost immunotherapy efficacy in HCC.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jialiang Cai and Peiling Zhang and Yufan Cai and Guiqi Zhu and Shiping Chen and Lina Song and Junxian Du and Biao Wang and Weixing Dai and Jian Zhou and Jia Fan and Yiyi Yu and Zhi Dai}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202413095}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {20}, pages = {2413095}, shortjournal = {Adv.

In this study, a large scale screening of a natural product library for senotherapeutic candidates is performed. Apigenin, a dietary flavonoid previously reported with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, exhibits capacity for targeting senescent cells as a senomorphic agent. This compound blocks the interactions between ATM/p38MAPK and HSPA8, preventing the transition of an acute stress-associated phenotype (ASAP) toward the SASP.

Apigenin reduces the severity of cancer cell malignancy promoted by senescent stromal cells in culture, while restraining chemoresistance when combined with chemotherapy in anticancer regimens. In preclinical trials, apigenin improves the physical function of animals with a premature aging-like state, alleviating physical frailty and cognitive impairment.

To address these obstacles, machine learning is employed to optimize five critical printing parameters (i.e., bioink viscosity, nozzle size, printing time, printing pressure, and cell concentration), and develop algorithms capable of immediate cellular droplet size prediction. In this study, a high-throughput cellular droplet bioprinter is designed, capable of printing over 50 cellular droplets simultaneously, producing the large dataset required for effective machine learning training.

Our findings showed that inulin treatment significantly improved hyperandrogenism and glucolipid metabolism in both PCOS cohort and mice. Consistent with the cohort, inulin increased the abundance of microbial co-abundance group (CAG) 12 in PCOS mice, including Bifidobacterium species and other short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-producers. We further verified the enhancement of SCFAs biosynthesis capacity and fecal SCFAs content by inulin. Moreover, inulin decreased lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) and ameliorated ovarian inflammation in PCOS mice, whereas intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration reversed the protective effects of inulin. Furthermore, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from inulin-treated patients with PCOS enhanced insulin sensitivity, improved lipid accumulation and thermogenesis, reduced hyperandrogenism and ovarian inflammatory response in antibiotic-treated mice.

  @article{ , abstract = {Mitochondria Sirtuins including SIRT4 erase a variety of posttranslational modifications from mitochondria proteins, leading to metabolic reprogramming that acts as a tumor suppressor, oncogenic promotor, or both. However, the factors and the underlying mechanisms that stimulate and relay such a signaling cascade are poorly understood. Here, we reveal that the voltage-gated calcium channel subunit α2δ1-mediated calcium signaling can upregulate the expression of SIRT4, which is highly expressed in α2δ1-positive pancreatic tumor-initiating cells (TICs). Furthermore, SIRT4 is functionally sufficient and indispensable to promote TIC properties of pancreatic cancer cells by directly deacetylating ENO1 at K358, leading to attenuated ENO1's RNA-binding capacity, enhanced glycolytic substrate 2-PG affinity, and subsequently robust catalytic activity with boosted glycolytic ability and increased production of lactate acid. Interestingly, both SIRT4 and deacetylated mimetic of ENO1-K358 can increase the lactylation of histones at multiple sites including H3K9 and H3K18 sites, which resulted in epigenetic reprogramming to directly activate a variety of pathways that are essential for stemness.

  @article{ , abstract = {Selective drug delivery to podocytes remains a challenge. Aptamers, nucleic acids that bind specific cells, offer a potential solution, though podocyte-targeting aptamers have not yet been developed. Podocytes stimulated with adriamycin, puromycin aminonucleoside, and high glucose are used to screen an single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) library (10¹⁵ sequences). High-throughput sequencing identifies nucleotide sequences, and the aptamer's affinity, stability, cytotoxicity, uptake, biodistribution (especially to podocyte), target protein and ability to deliver siRNA are evaluated. After 11–14 rounds of selection, high-affinity pools are identified. Sequencing reveals 23,848 unique sequences, narrowed down to 12 candidates. Aptamer S7 is specifically bound to podocytes, and its truncated version, RLS-2, demonstrates superior affinity (50–70 nM) and improved stability with phosphorothioate modifications. RLS-2 exhibits no significant cytotoxicity, is internalized by podocytes, and localized to lysosomes. In adriamycin-induced and diabetic nephropathy mice, RLS-2 preferentially accumulates within glomeruli. Its specificity to podocyte is verified by colocalization examination and quantitated via flowcytometry. EPB41L5 is identified as a target protein. Aptamer-siRNA chimeras based on RLS-2 successfully downregulate gene expression without the need for transfection reagents in vitro. These findings underscore the potential of RLS-2 as a promising agent for the development of podocyte-targeted drug delivery systems.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Chao Zhou and Zhaofeng Luo and Zheng Zhang and Qing Ye and Dongjie Wang and Hanyan Meng and Jiayu Zhang and Shifan Zhu and Lidan Hu and Jianhua Mao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202412356}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {20}, pages = {2412356}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia with irregular atrial electrical activity. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are key regulators in tissue homeostasis, yet their role in AF remains unclear. Here, we investigated the expression and function of circNAB1 in AF using high-throughput sequencing and functional assays in circNAB1 transgenic mice. We identified circNAB1 as a significantly downregulated circRNA in AF patient specimens. Silencing circNAB1 promoted collagen deposition and inflammation, whereas overexpression reduces atrial fibrosis and AF susceptibility in mice, consistent with results observed in human atrial tissues. Mechanistically, circNAB1 translates into a novel protein, NAB1-356, which is highly expressed in human cardiac hypertrophy. NAB1-356 interacts with EGR1 as NAB1 does, decreasing fibrosis and inflammation in the atrium. Furthermore, NAB1-356 also regulates transcription factor Runx1 and Gadd45b transcription, exerting regulatory effects on cytokine expression and fibrosis. Targeting EGR1, Gadd45b, and Runx1 by circNAB1 or siRNAs attenuate AF incidence and cardiac remodeling, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for AF management.

These coacervates form over a wide range of pH values and ionic strengths, ensuring compatibility with all biofluids. They exhibit antifouling properties that minimize nonspecific binding, allowing for the selective isolation of EVs from biofluids upon functionalization of the polymer with a suitable affinity probe, as proved here with a membrane-sensing peptide. This strategy is applied to pull down, concentrate, and release EVs from urine samples with high yields while retaining their structural integrity. This approach effectively separates EVs from lipoproteins, a challenging task for conventional separation techniques.

Hepatic Mas expression increases in WT-L/G mice, whereas systemic Mas1 knockout significantly reduces L/G-induced NETs and hepatotoxicity.

Gasdermin C (GSDMC) is overexpressed in human colorectal cancer (CRC); however, the molecular mechanisms underlying GSDMC regulation of CRC tumorigenesis are largely elusive. Here, it is found that both GSDMC expression and activation are significantly elevated in human and mouse CRC tissues. Gsdmc2/3/4 deficiency attenuates tumor progression in both chemically induced CRC mouse model and spontaneous intestinal tumor model. Mechanistically, under hypoxia and low-glucose condition, GSDMC2/3/4 are directly activated by Caspase-6, but not by Caspase-8, as previously reported in other cancers. GSDMC2/3/4-mediated pyroptosis in tumor cells leads to the release of high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1), which enhances the expression of chemokine attractant C-X-C motif chemokine 2 (CXCL2) in surrounding tumor cells. Subsequently, the elevated CXCL2 secretion from tumor cells promotes the recruitment of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) into the tumor microenvironment (TME) through C-X-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CXCR2), thereby facilitating CRC progression.

In human primary myoblasts exogenous CYTOR exon 2 recapitulates the effect of full-length CYTOR by boosting fast-twitch myogenic differentiation. Furthermore, chemically modified CYTOR exon 2 RNA ΨU (N1-me-PseudoU, 7-methyl guanosine 5′Cap, polyA) enhances RNA stability and reduces immunogenicity to CYTOR exon2 RNA.

Herein, this study presents a supramolecular strategy to fabricate BtP27@ β -CD, a sunflower-like material engineered through host-guest recognition between de novo designed molecule BtP27 and β -cyclodextrin. BtP27@ β -CD manifests enhanced foliar affinity and in vivo efficiency, demonstrating superior protective (62.67%) and curative (51.16%) activities against bacterial leaf blight at a low-dose of 200 µg mL −1 compared to commercial thiodiazole-copper (37.78%/38.13%) without compromising safety. This multifunctional material, structurally derived from dufulin, inherit progenitor's systemic and conductive properties, alongside the capacity to activate salicylic acid-mediated plant defense pathways. Moreover, it is endowed with the anticipated abilities to disorganize biofilm barriers, annihilate encased pathogens, and inhibit T3SS. This constitutes the inaugural report of a supramolecular-based biofilm/T3SS dual inhibitor. An expanded investigation into substrate and indication screening identified additional molecules that self-assemble with β -cyclodextrin to form supramolecular materials, exhibiting superior potency against other rice diseases, with protective potency ranging from 63.53% to 73.30% and curative efficacy spanning 42.18% to 60.41% at 200 µg mL −1 .

  @article{ , abstract = {Leaf morphology critically influences photosynthetic efficiency, directly affecting crop yield and quality. In this study, a T-DNA insertion mutant ( wl-D ), characterized by a wrinkled-leaf phenotype, is identified. Genetic analysis reveals that this phenotype is governed by a single dominant gene, WRINKLED-LEAF 1 (GhWL1) , which is highly expressed in wl-D compared to the wild type (WT). Overexpression of GhWL1 in WT caused curling at leaf edges, while suppression of GhWL1 in wl-D restored normal leaf morphology, validating its functional role. Further analysis demonstrated that GhWL1 interacts with GhH1 , a protein with a KNOX1 structural domain, to regulate leaf development. Overexpression of GhH1 in WT results in a leaf shrinkage phenotype similar to wl-D , whereas suppressing GhH1 in wl-D restored normal leaf morphology, indicating that GhH1 acts downstream of GhWL1 . The GhWL1-GhH1 complex directly binds to the promoter of GhGA2OX1 (gibberellin 2-beta-dioxygenase 1), positively regulating its expression. Overexpression of GhGA2OX1 in WT mimicked the leaf shrinkage phenotype observed in plants overexpressing GhH1 .

Existing optimization methods struggle with the complexity of handling numerous objectives, limiting advancements in molecular design as most algorithms are only effective for up to four optimization objectives. To overcome these limitations, the study introduces the Pareto Monte Carlo Tree Search Molecular Generation (PMMG) method, leveraging Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to efficiently uncover the Pareto Front for molecular design tasks in high-dimensional objective space. By utilizing simplified molecular input line entry system (SMILES) to represent molecules, PMMG efficiently navigates the vast chemical space to discover molecules that exhibit multiple desirable attributes simultaneously. Numerical experiments demonstrate PMMG's superior performance, achieving a remarkable success rate of 51.65% in simultaneously optimizing seven objectives, outperforming current state-of-the-art algorithms by 2.5 times. An illustrative study targeting Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) highlights PMMG's ability to generate molecules with high docking scores for target proteins and favorable predicted drug-like properties.

Interestingly however, most advanced teleost fish do not possess osteocyte-mediated porosity, prompting intriguing questions about alternative material-strategies for these bones to cope with damage. Using advanced imaging techniques, including phase-contrast enhanced (PCE) microtomography (µCT) and nanotomography (nanoCT), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and diffraction (XRD) tomography, the micro- and nano-architectures of osteocytic zebrafish are compared with anosteocytic medaka fishbone. PCE µCT and Zernike phase-contrast nanoCT showed a lack of porosity in medaka bone and 0.75 – 2.26% osteocytic porosity in zebrafish. Both fish species have similar mineralized collagen fibril arrangements containing calcium (Ca) and traces of strontium (Sr) with increased zinc (Zn) localized on the outer bone regions. Medaka bones exhibit reduced apatite nanocrystal lattice spacings on the outer surfaces. Indeed we find higher compressive residual strains (-0.100 ± 0.02) compared to zebrafish (-0.071 ± 0.03). We propose that medaka bone evolved to replace the mechanosensitive osteocytic network by entrapping protective residual strains between collagen nanofibers and mineral crystals.

  @article{ , abstract = {Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are crucial regulators of targeted drug resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the specific mechanisms underlying resistance that significantly hampers the effectiveness of HCC treatments remain unclear. Here, it is found that circRNA-mTOR is highly expressed in HCC and strongly correlated with patient prognosis. Furthermore, circRNA-mTOR enhances the stemness of HCC cells, thereby promoting the progression of HCC and contributing to lenvatinib resistance. Mechanistically, circRNA-mTOR promotes the nuclear translocation of the RNA-binding protein (RBP) PC4 and SRSF1 interacting protein 1 (PSIP1) through specific binding. The enhancement of HCC cell stemness by circRNA-mTOR occurs via the PSIP1/c-Myc signaling pathway, ultimately driving HCC progression and lenvatinib resistance. This study highlights the important role of circRNA-mTOR in HCC progression and the maintenance of lenvatinib resistance and underscores its potential as a biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC.

  @article{ , abstract = {Multiple myeloma (MM) pathogenesis is closely associated with aberrant epigenetic regulation and resulting modifications, such as dimethylation of lysine 36 in histone H3 (H3K36me2). However, the recognition signature of H3K36me2 and its functional role in MM remain largely unknown. Here, the zinc-finger MYND-type-containing 8 (ZMYND8) is identified as a potential reader of the H3K36me2 mark that suppresses MM progression. ZMYND8 knockdown promotes the proliferation and invasion of MM cells. Combined transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses reveal that CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein epsilon (CEBPE) is a direct downstream target of ZMYND8. CEBPE modulates adaptive unfolded protein response (UPR) pathways through the transcriptional repression of ERN1, XBP1, and ATF6 to impair cell survival. Coimmunoprecipitation and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays show that ZMYND8 activates CEBPE expression in an H3K36me2-dependent manner and that its Pro-Trp-Trp-Pro domain is required for binding H3K36me2 modules, leading to CEBPE transcription. Low ZMYND8 expression is significantly correlated with adverse clinicopathological features and poor survival outcomes in MM patients. Furthermore, ZMYND8 upregulation increases the sensitivity of MM cells to carfilzomib.

  @article{ , abstract = {The prevalence of acute lower respiratory infections in individuals with iron deficiency (ID) has significantly increased, and is correlated with reduced numbers of immune cells and impaired immune function. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in combating the influenza A virus (IAV) by initiating adaptive immune responses. However, the impact of ID on DCs and their response to IAV infection remain unclear. This study showed that ID impairs the antigen-presenting ability of DCs, thereby hindering their capacity to mediate T-cell proliferation and clear viruses. The restrictive effects of ID on DCs begin in the bone marrow and specifically affect the monocyte DC progenitor (MDP) stage. A reduction in the number of MDPs and compromised immune potential lead to a decrease in the population and functionality of DCs in the subsequent common DC precursor (CDP) stage in the blood, spleen, and lungs. This study highlights the previously unrecognized impact of ID on DCs and provides valuable insights into immune cell responses and the application of iron supplementation in the fight against viral infections.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Quanzhong Ren and Xiaotong Xu and Zheng Dong and Jiahuang Qiu and Qing'e Shan and Rui Chen and Yajun Liu and Juan Ma and Sijin Liu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202408348}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {20}, pages = {2408348}, shortjournal = {Adv.

In vitro and in vivo studies indicated that RNF112 suppresses BLCA cell proliferation, migration, and lipid synthesis. Mechanistically, RNF112 directly interacts with the MB II domain of MYC through its N-terminal zinc finger motif, and its catalytic site C97 facilitates K48-linked polyubiquitination of the K389 residue on the c-Myc protein, accelerating its degradation. Additionally, this research validated the interaction of c-Myc with the promoter of ATP citrate lyase ( ACLY ), a central enzyme of lipid metabolism, promoting its transcriptional activity. The restoration of c-Myc or ACLY expression attenuated the inhibitory effects of RNF112 on BLCA cell growth, migration, and lipid synthesis.

The dynamics of this single variable is analytically solved and theoretically preserves the temporal property of original high-dimensional time-series, thereby accurately and reliably identifying the tipping point before an upcoming critical transition.

This model faithfully reproduces critical TME attributes, including elevated matrix stiffness (≈7.5 kPa) and hypoxic conditions found in CRC. Transcriptomic and immunofluorescence microscopy analysis reveal that Eba-PDOs more accurately represent actual tissues compared to traditional PDOs.

  @article{ , abstract = {Hepatoblastoma, the most aggressive childhood liver tumor, poses significant challenges due to limited knowledge of its pathogenesis, particularly in poorly differentiated advanced tumors where the prognosis is dismal. Single-cell sequencing provides an in-depth exploration at the single-cell level and offers a deep understanding of tumor heterogeneity. Herein, single-cell transcriptomics analysis is used to identify a unique malignant-hepatoblast (HB)-like cell subpopulation as the possible origin of poorly differentiated hepatoblastoma. These cells are associated with an unfavorable clinical prognosis in hepatoblastoma patients. The malignant-HB-like cell subpopulation generated insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) to sustain stem-like features by promoting abnormal cholesterol accumulation via SREBF2. IGF2 also stimulated fibroblast 2 to secrete collagen 1, intensifying tumor malignancy via the collagen 1/integrin α1 signaling pathway. This suggests that targeting malignant HB-like cells by inhibiting IGF2-induced pathways can lead to promising treatments for hepatoblastoma. Additionally, serum IGF2 levels may serve as a diagnostic biomarker for advanced hepatoblastoma.

A positive relationship between gene functional diversity and niche breadth is found, and identified a key set of bacterial traits associated with niche breadth, which are assigned to five life-history categories, encompassing growth, competition, stress tolerance, resource acquisition, and dispersal ability. The traits of these categories are captured by distinct clusters in the full dimensionality of trait space, suggesting that a broad-niche taxon may indeed possess multiple facets of life history strategies essential for survival in diverse environments.

In this study, an internal Z score-based approach is developed to identify lineage-specific TF profiles in prostatic adenocarcinoma and NEPC for a nuanced understanding of TF expression dynamics. Distinct TF profiles for adenocarcinoma and NEPC are unveiled, identifying 126 shared TFs, 46 adenocarcinoma-TFs, and 56 NEPC-TFs, validated across multiple cohorts. Gene Ontology is employed to validate their biological and functional roles in PCa progression. Implications are revealed in cell development, differentiation, and lineage determination. Knockdown experiments suggest that lineage-TFs are functionally important in maintaining lineage-specific cell proliferation. Additionally, a longitudinal study on NE transdifferentiation highlights dynamic TF expression shifts, proposing a three-phases hypothesis for PCa progression mechanisms.

However, whether and how switching behaviors in FCD change in patients with developmental ASD, as well as their cellular and molecular basis, remains unexplored. This study develops a region-wise FCD switching index (RFSI) to investigate the drivers of FCD. This work finds that brain regions within the salience, default mode, and frontoparietal networks serve as abnormal drivers of FCD in ASD across different developmental stages. Additionally, changes in RFSI at different developmental stages of ASD correlated with transcriptomic profiles and neurotransmitter density maps. Importantly, the abnormal RFSI identifies in humans has also been observed in genetically edited ASD monkeys. Finally, single-nucleus RNA sequencing data from patients with developmental ASD are analyzed and aberrant switching behaviors in FCD may be mediated by somatostatin-expressing interneurons and altered differentiation patterns in astrocyte State2.

Behavioral improvement is predictable by cortical processing as well as by network organization changes, with the highest classification accuracy of 81.57%. For cortical processing, behavioral prediction is better for the left than the right hemisphere and for speech than non-speech processing. For network organization, the best prediction is obtained for resting state, with greater contribution from inter-hemisphere connections between non-homologous regions than from within-hemisphere connections. Most interestingly, systematic connectivity-to-activity models reveal that speech processing of the left language network is developmentally supported largely by global network organization, particularly asymmetric inter-hemisphere communication, rather than functional segregation of local network.

  @article{ , abstract = {Anode-free lithium metal batteries (AFLMBs) offer the potential for significantly enhanced energy densities. However, their practical application is limited by a shortened cycling life due to inevitable Li loss from parasitic reactions. This study addresses this challenge by incorporating an over-lithiated Li 1+ x Ni 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 (Li 1+ x NCM523) cathode as an internal Li reservoir to compensate for lithium loss during extended cycling. A rigorous investigation of the deep discharge behavior of the Li 1+ x NCM523 cathode reveals a critical over-lithiation threshold at x = 0.7. At this threshold, excess Li + ions are safely accommodated within the crystal structure by a transformation from the LiO 4 octahedron to two tetrahedral sites. Beyond this threshold ( x ≥ 0.7), the structural stability of the cathode is significantly compromised due to the irreversible reduction of transition metal (TM) ions. The optimal Li-rich Li 1.7 NCM523 releases an additional charge capacity of ≈160 mAh g −1 during the first charge.

The presence of anatase and brookite phases in Cu-doped TiO 2 nanogrids significantly enhances the photocatalytic properties of the titania system. The absorption edge in Cu-doped TiO 2 shifts to the visible due to the narrowed bandgap and efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers facilitated by Cu doping. The presence of the brookite phase further contributes to the enhanced performance, by reducing electron–hole recombination. A wide range of characterization techniques, including cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry studies which show that the Cu doped TiO₂ sample generates a significant photocurrent under visible light, are employed to elucidate the role of Cu doping in enhancing the visible light photocatalytic efficiency of TiO 2 nanogrids, offering valuable insights for developing advanced photochemical catalysts for environmental and energy applications.

This work characterizes 3′-UTR APA using 85 high-quality RNA-seq datasets encompassing 12 tissue types and eight developmental stages of mouse fetuses. Results show that 46.4% of expressed genes undergo APA in a tissue-specific manner. Changes in polyadenylation site (pAS) usage often operate beyond transcriptional control, revealing APA as an additional layer of gene regulation. Sequence analysis demonstrates that pAS selection, governed by polyadenylation signal strength and adenine preferences, is evolutionarily conserved between mice and humans. Intriguingly, brain tissues display complex 3′-UTR APA dynamics during development, potentially regulated by RNA-binding proteins such as Rbm38 , potentially impacting 3′ UTR extension by restricting distal pAS usage. These APA events are associated with a depletion of conserved miRNA binding sites and an enrichment of transposable elements within alternative 3′ UTRs.

The melamine/MWCNTs foam exhibits multiscale composite pores, high porosity, and increased specific surface area while preserving the shape and thickness of the initial melamine foam. Due to increased energy dissipation from the porous structure and the resonance effect of MWCNTs, the 10 mm thick composite porous absorber exhibits an average absorption coefficient of ≈70% from 1300 to 6000 Hz, representing a 196.5% increase compared with that of initial melamine foam.

  @article{ , abstract = {Degeneration of articular cartilage is the key underlying cause of most joint-related diseases and yet little is known about its regeneration. Here, we report that skeletal interoception induces anabolic synthesis of superficial membrane by tuning down sympathetic norepinephrine (NE). Specifically, the superficial membrane is consumed during animal activity and anabolically renewed by the underneath chondrocytes in the superficial zone (SFZ). Notably, by stereotactic knockdown of sympathetic NE synthesis in the paraventricular nucleus, articular cartilage thickness increases. Moreover, deletion of the gene encoding the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor, EP4, in sensory nerves for ascending interoceptive pathway induces damage of superficial membrane and articular cartilage degeneration. In contrast, increase of interoceptive signaling by elevation of local PGE2 reduces sympathetic outflow to promote the anabolic renewal of superficial membrane. Importantly, inducible knockout of the β-2-adrenergic-receptor (Adrb2) in the SFZ chondrocytes damages superficial membrane and treadmill running aggravates the damage. Mechanistically, NE-mediated activation of Adrb2 induces internalization of Adrb2 and TGF-β type II receptor as a complex, thereby regulating TGF-β activity for articular cartilage homeostasis regeneration.

However, the challenges persist owing to high interfacial resistance with electrodes and instability with lithium metal.

  @article{ , abstract = {Double-row tapered roller bearings (DTRBs) are widely used in wind turbines because of their high load-bearing capacity and durability. However, wind turbines typically operate in harsh environments, subjecting bearings to complex working conditions, which significantly increases the difficulty of operational status monitoring. Traditional monitoring methods rely on external power sources and complex sensor networks, which make them susceptible to environmental interference, and complicated to maintain. This paper presents an innovative, integrated symmetrical single-electrode triboelectric double-row tapered roller bearing (SST-DTRB) by incorporating a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) with DTRB. This scheme converts the frictional energy generated during bearing operation into electrical output, producing signals that enable simultaneous sensing of both ends of DTRB. Experimental results demonstrate that this monitoring scheme exhibits high sensitivity, stability, and reliability, with excellent robustness in material selection and design gap, and is capable of long-term operation without external power sources. The effectiveness and self-sensing capability of SST-DTRB under variable speeds are validated using a wind turbine test bench. High-accuracy bearing fault diagnosis under multiple conditions is achieved based on time-frequency transformation and deep residual neural networks.

  @article{ , abstract = {AKT1 E17K is a gain-of-function mutation that constitutively activates the PI3K-AKT pathway. However, how AKT1 E17K is regulated in cancer pathogenesis remains elusive. Here, RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq) is performed to interrogate the AKT1 E17K -interacting lncRNAs and identify that SVIL-AS1 preferentially binds to AKT1 E17K rather than AKT1 WT proteins. It is found that SVIL-AS1 enhances AKT1 phosphorylation and downstream signaling. SVIL-AS1 knockdown dramatically inhibits the growth of AKT1 E17K cells in vitro and in vivo. Notably, AKT1 and SVIL-AS1 interaction is AKT1 phosphorylation-dependent. SVIL-AS1 also interacts with PPP2R2A, a subunit of phosphatase PP2A holoenzyme, and blocks the binding of PPP2R2A to AKT1 E17K to prevent AKT1 dephosphorylation. Moreover, AKT1 E17K cells are not effectively inhibited by the allosteric AKT inhibitor, whereas silencing SVIL-AS1 sensitizes AKT1 E17K cells to AKT1 allosteric inhibitor, as well as the PI3Kα inhibitor. In breast cancer tissues, SVIL-AS1 is highly expressed and associated with p-AKT1 level and poor prognosis of patients.

The response enhancement and depression are tunable through adjusting charging and discharging current stimuli, thus exhibiting synaptic plasticity. Typical synaptic behaviors are demonstrated, including short-term memory, long-term memory, paired-pulse facilitation, and learning experience. Next, the voltage responses are used to recognize Braille numbers represented by 3 × 4 arrays. A charging/discharging current pulse train representing each Braille array is applied to the supercapacitor. The voltage responses are collected and converted to 12-pixel greyscale images. Once the images representing Braille numbers 0–9 are input into artificial neural networks and deep diffraction neural networks, 100% accuracy can be achieved for recognizing the ten numbers.

Cu catalyst favors the formation of C 2 products since the neighboring active Cu sites are beneficial for coupling adjacently adsorbed * CO and * CHO intermediates. Cu alloyed with Pd introduces a blocking effect and increases the intermolecular distance between adjacent adsorbed * CO and * CHO intermediates. Therefore the selectivity for the C 2 H 4 pathway decreas while the CH 4 pathway is enhanced. Moreover, the existence of adsorbed * H species on Pd atoms also played a significant role in boosting CO 2 electroreduction to CH 4 by facilitating the hydrogenation of * CO intermediates. This work reveals the key role of * H species adsorbed on Pd atoms and the blocking effect between active sites for CH 4 formation, which is helpful for the design of copper-based catalysts for desired products.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jinyan Huang and Ye Yang and Xuexue Liang and Bing Chen and Yue Shen and Yan Chen and Jielian Yang and Yinglin Yu and Fang Huang and Huibing He and Peican Chen and Liya Zhou and Anxiang Guan}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202417247}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {19}, pages = {2417247}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Continuous strain engineering of multiferroics not only enhances understanding of their properties but also guides the optimization of their performances for use in electronic, optical, and magnetic devices. However, due to technical challenges in real-time monitoring of the ferroic orders, the precise evolution process remains unclear. Here, the evolution of the ferroelectric (FE) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) orders are revealed in multiferroic freestanding BiFeO 3 films under sequential and anisotropic biaxial strain, using rotational anisotropy second harmonic generation (RA-SHG) technology and first-principles calculations. The change and recovery of RA-SHG patterns illustrate the reversible control of the in-plane FE polarization in the films by sequential strain application. The in-plane FE direction can be manipulated within ≈4° by strain along the (100) and (010) directions, while the AFM order is more significantly affected, with ≈8° rotation in RA-SHG patterns. This research unveils the appearance of new SHG peaks in freestanding BFO films under strain and shows that they evolve independently of FE-induced SHG linked to lattice changes, suggesting a spin structure-related variation.

  @article{ , abstract = {Epigenetic modifications serve as crucial molecular switches for pathological fibrosis; howbeit the role of m 1 A in this condition remains enigmatic. Herein, it is found that ALKBH3 exerts a pro-fibrotic effect in pathological skin fibrosis by reshaping N6-methyladenosine (m 6 A) RNA modification pattern. First, ALKBH3 exhibited specific upregulation within hypertrophic scars (HTS), accompanied by N1-methyladenosine (m 1 A) hypomethylation. Moreover, multiomics analyses identified METTL3, a critical writer enzyme involved in m 6 A modification, as a downstream candidate target of ALKBH3. Therapeutically, ablation of ALKBH3 inhibited the progression of HTS both in vitro and in vivo, while exogenous replenishment of METTL3 counteracted this antifibrotic effect. Mechanistically, ALKBH3 recognizes the m 1 A methylation sites and prevents YTHDF2-dependent mRNA decay of METTL3 transcript. Subsequently, METTL3 stabilizes collagen type I alpha 1 chain ( COL1A1 ) and fibronectin1 ( FN1 ) mRNAs, two major components of extracellular matrix, and therefore eliciting the pathological transformation of HTS.

  @article{ , abstract = {Infection by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae elicits dynamic responses in rice. Utilizing an integrated approach of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, a 3D response is uncovered within rice leaf cells to M. oryzae infection. A comprehensive rice leaf atlas is constructed from 236 708 single-cell transcriptomes, revealing heightened expression of immune receptors, namely Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) and Nucleotide-binding site and leucine-rich repeat (NLRs) proteins, within vascular tissues. Diterpene phytoalexins biosynthesis genes are dramatically upregulated in procambium cells, leading to an accumulation of these phytoalexins within vascular bundles. Consistent with these findings, microscopic observations confirmed that M. oryzae is prone to target leaf veins for invasion, yet is unable to colonize further within vascular tissues. Following fungal infection, basal defenses are extensively activated in rice cells, as inferred from trajectory analyses. The spatial transcriptomics reveals that rice leaf tissues toward leaf tips display stronger immunity. Characterization of the polarity gene OsHKT9 suggests that potassium transport plays a critical role in resisting M. oryzae infection by expression along the longitudinal axis, where the immunity is stronger toward leaf tip.

  @article{ , abstract = {Obesity is a leading risk factor for development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). High-fat intake produces cytotoxic effects in liver cells, such as excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and apoptosis. How HCC cells regulate ROS level and escape the cytotoxic effects of high fat diet (HFD) stress remains unclear. Herein, this work reports a critical anti-ROS/apoptotic role of the ubiquitin-like protein interferon stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) in HFD-promoted HCC. In mouse models and clinical HCC samples, upregulation of ISG15 is associated with hepatic steatosis. Notably, upregulated ISG15 elevates cellular glutathione levels, which subsequently reduces ROS accumulation and confers resistance to apoptosis in HCC cells. In diethylnitrosamine-induced HCC mouse model, HFD-feeding promotes HCC progression in wildtype mice, while tumor growth is significantly suppressed accompanied by apoptosis of HCC cells in Isg15 -KO mice. Mechanistically, ISG15 promotes the activity of γ-glutamate cysteine ligase (γ-GCL), a rate-limiting heterodimeric holoenzyme of glutathione synthesis consisting of glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC) and glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM). Independent of ISGylation, ISG15 forms an ISG15/GCLM/GCLC complex that promotes GCLM-GCLC interaction, increases glutathione generation and inhibits HFD-induced apoptosis in HCC cells.

Notably, RAB3B ablation attenuated the chordoma cell stemness and malignant biological properties in vivo and in vitro. Through determining the RAB3B-mediated program in chordoma, it is identified that it enhanced the phosphorylation of S6 specifically at S235/236 and directly bound to S6.

  @article{ , abstract = {The risk of diabetic cardiovascular complications is closely linked to the length of hyperglycemia exposure. Mitophagy plays a significant role in vascular endothelial injury. However, the specific mechanisms by which mitophagy contributes to endothelial injury during sustained hyperglycemia remain unclear. In diabetic ApoE −/− mice and human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) models, mitophagy is enhanced following short-term and long-term high-glucose exposure. Short-term high-glucose exposure promotes Parkin-mediated mitophagy and upregulates mitochondrial fission protein 1 (Fis1) expression, whereas long-term high-glucose exposure suppresses Parkin-mediated mitophagy and downregulates Fis1. With prolonged high-glucose exposure, Syntaxin 17 (STX17) translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to the mitochondria, activating STX17-mediated mitophagy. Silencing STX17 alleviates mitochondrial degradation, decreases reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, enhances endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) phosphorylation, and reduces apoptosis. Silencing Fis1 accelerates the switching to STX17-mediated mitophagy, worsening endothelial dysfunction, whereas Fis1 overexpression prevents this switching, reducing ROS and apoptosis and enhancing eNOS phosphorylation. In summary, these findings suggest that the switching from Parkin-mediated to STX17-mediated mitophagy drives vascular endothelial injury following long-term hyperglycemic exposure, providing valuable insights into therapeutic strategies for diabetic cardiovascular complications.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Anqi Luo and Rui Wang and Jingwen Gong and Shuting Wang and Chuan Yun and Zongcun Chen and Yanan Jiang and Xiaoquan Liu and Haofu Dai and Haochen Liu and Yunsi Zheng}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202414960}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {19}, pages = {2414960}, shortjournal = {Adv.

However, the fabrication resolution of conducting polymer hydrogels by typical techniques, including ink-jet printing, 3D-printing, etc., has been generally limited to >10 µm, significantly restricting rapid innovations and broad applications of conducting polymer hydrogels. To address this issue, a photosensitive biphasic conducting polymer hydrogel (PB-CH) is rationally designed and synthesized, comprising poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as the conductive phase and a light-sensitive matrix as the mechanical phase. The formation of phase-separated structures within PB-CH preserves the integrity of the conductive channels during the photoinitiated cross-linking. This minimizes the conductivity loss, a common limitation in similar materials. Remarkably, the resultant PB-CH exhibits a combination of excellent electrical conductivity (≈30 S cm −1 ), robust mechanical performance (tensile strain up to 50%), and high photopatternability. A detailed investigation of the photolithography process identifies key technological parameters that enable high-resolution patterning of 5 µm.

Here, a method for quantitatively measuring PPIs by determining the dissociation constant ( K d ) in living E. coli using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), a technique termed KD-FRET, is reported.

  @article{ , abstract = {Alzheimer's disease (AD) is less prevalent in men than in women, although mechanisms remain unclear. Microglia degrade aggregated amyloid β (Aβ) through the lysosomal system, including autophagy. G protein-coupled receptor family C group 6 member A (GPRC6A), predominantly expressed in mouse microglial MG6 cells, is a primary mediator of testosterone signaling. This study examines testosterone's role in modulating Aβ-induced autophagy in microglia. Testosterone promotes Aβ-induced autophagy leading to Aβ clearance in MG6 cells by suppressing extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation and subsequently inhibiting mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation, which is abrogated by shRNA knockdown of GPRC6A. In in vivo experiments with male 5xFAD AD model mice, Aβ clearance activity is associated with autophagy in microglia and is reduced by orchiectomy, but restored by testosterone supplementation. ERK phosphorylation in the brains of male AD model mice is upregulated by orchiectomy. Therefore, testosterone is involved in autophagy-mediated Aβ clearance in microglia. Aβ accumulation in human brain samples from patients with AD is significantly lower in men than in women, with less pronounced colocalization of Aβ with p62 aggregates, suggesting enhanced autophagic activity in men.

  @article{ , abstract = {Membranes and the membraneless biocondensates help organize cells and work synergistically to drive cellular processes. Separately, membrane-bound and membraneless compartments face difficulties as stable protocells or synthetic cell systems. Here, we present a new method to create membranized coacervates (MCs) for coacervates with any surface charge and a wide range of phospholipid membrane compositions. MCs are formed when liposomes, destabilized using heat and divalent ions, are mixed with coacervate dispersions. Unlike previous reports of hybrid coacervates surrounded by membranes, the MC membranes form an effective barrier also against small molecules, including calcein and TAMRA. The MC membranes provide excellent stability to the protocells at pH 2–10, salt concentrations of up to 0.5 м, hypotonic and hypertonic conditions, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. MCs performed better in all the tested conditions than both coacervates and liposomes. We attribute this behavior to the increased stability that coacervates and liposomes confer to each other when together. MC membranes are unilamellar and fluid, allowing lateral lipid diffusion, and the lipids are more densely packed compared to their corresponding liposomes. MCs can help us understand how stable primitive cells might have emerged and build advanced synthetic cells with enhanced stability and selectivity.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Sadaf Javed and Evan Spruijt}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202412312}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {19}, pages = {2412312}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer mortality while diabetes is a recognized risk factor for CRC. Here we report that tirzepatide (TZP), a novel polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GIPR/GLP-1R) agonist for the treatment of diabetes, has a role in attenuating CRC growth. TZP significantly inhibited colon cancer cell proliferation promoted apoptosis in vitro and induced durable tumor regression in vivo under hyperglycemic and nonhyperglycemic conditions across multiple murine cancer models. As glucose metabolism is known to critically regulate colon cancer progression, spatial metabolomics results revealed that glucose metabolites are robustly reduced in the colon cancer regions of the TZP-treated mice. TZP inhibited glucose uptake and destabilized hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) with reduced expression and activity of the rate-limiting enzymes 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) and phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK-1). These effects contributed to the downregulation of glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. TZP also delayed tumor development in a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse model accompanied by HIF-1α mediated PFKFB3-PFK-1 inhibition. Therefore, the study provides strong evidence that glycolysis-blocking TZP, besides its application in treating type 2 diabetes, has the potential for preclinical studies as a therapy for colorectal cancer used either as monotherapy or in combination with other anticancer therapies.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yikai Zhang and Yi Xie and Shenglong Xia and Xinnuo Ge and Jiaying Li and Fang Liu and Fan Jia and Shengyao Wang and Qiao Zhou and Menghan Gao and Weihuan Fang and Chao Zheng}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202411980}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {19}, pages = {2411980}, shortjournal = {Adv.

This challenge is addressed by developing ultrasensitive cell membrane interface temperature sensors integrated with low-noise electrical recording capabilities. Transparent resistive temperature detectors, composed of a 10 nm thickness of ultrathin Au film fabricated by polyelectrolyte seed layer-induced thermal evaporation, achieved precise measurement and control of temperature changes without significant light interference and self-heating.

However, biomimicking the complex hierarchical organization of corneal stroma is challenging. In this study, humanized corneal stroma-like adhesive patches (HCSPs) are prepared through a multi-step process. First, polyethylene glycol diacrylate is cast and cured within decellularized porcine cornea (DPC) templates. The DPCs are then enzymatically digested to obtain hydrogel skeletons, which are finally integrated with human corneal extracellular matrix and methacrylate gelatin. HCSPs replicate the ultrastructure, protein components, and optical properties of human corneas and exhibit improved anti-swelling and anti-degradation capabilities compared with conventional DPCs and recombinant human collagen patches. HCSPs can deliver methacrylate gelatin at the ocular surface temperature (37 °C) and achieve stable adhesion to the corneal stroma upon 405 nm light irradiation. Furthermore, HCSPs promote the survival and migration of corneal epithelial and stromal cells while preserving their phenotypes.

  @article{ , abstract = {Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell-derived malignancy. While immune checkpoint blockade immunotherapy has advanced myeloma treatment, chemotherapy remains the primary therapy. How chemotherapy interacts with immune checkpoint expression and impacts immunotherapy efficacy remains unclear. Here it is discovered that chemotherapeutic drugs induce DNA damage and activate the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP)–adenosine monophosphate (AMP) synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway. This activation promotes phosphorylation of the interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7), which binds to the promoter region of SERTA-containing domain 1 ( SERTAD1 , also called SEI1 ) gene to enhance its transcription. The SEI1 directly interacts with the enhancer factors CREB-binding protein (CBP)/p300 and RNA polymerase II (pol II)-associated factor 1 (PAF1) complex, promoting transcriptional activity and leading to upregulation of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and immune escape in myeloma. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that treating myeloma cells with PD-L1 antibodies post-chemotherapy significantly enhances the killing efficiency of activated T cells, compared to sequential treatment with chemotherapy and PD-L1 antibodies.

Deciphering the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remains challenging owing to the diversity of spiral ganglion neuron subtypes and associated central auditory circuits. An auditory neuropathy mechanism is unraveled by investigating the origin of auditory hyperexcitability in a mouse model for hereditary congenital deafness. Otogl encodes the large Otogelin-like protein, which is related to secreted epithelial mucins and is implicated in the mechanical stimulation of cochlear outer hair cells. Heterozygous Otogl +/− mutant mice display auditory hyperexcitability, highlighted by their susceptibility to audiogenic seizures induced by loud sounds. It is shown that Otogl is transiently expressed in a subpopulation of spiral ganglion neurons during cochlear development. Despite their apparently normal hearing, Otogl +/− mice display poor activation of the spiral ganglion neurons processing loud sounds and an elevation of the activation threshold of the middle the ear muscle reflex that attenuates loud sounds.

Additional experiments demonstrated that deletion of HNF3α mitigated IRI-induced renal fibrosis, and that overexpression of HNF3α led to increased fibrosis.

Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) play a pivotal role in the synovial invasion and joint destruction observed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The study reveals that LACK 156-173 can inhibit the aggressive phenotype of RA-FLSs by restoring dysregulated fatty acid synthesis metabolism. In RA-FLSs, overexpression of fatty acid synthase (FASN) leads to excessive fatty acid accumulation, which in turn promotes mitochondrial fragmentation by enhancing phosphorylation at the ser616 site of dynamin 1-like protein (DRP1). This process increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and activates the PI3K/mTOR/NF-κB pathway, thereby facilitating the transition of RA-FLSs to an aggressive inflammatory and bone-damaging phenotype. LACK 156-173 is internalized into the cytoplasm via CAPN2-mediated endocytosis, where it directly binds to FASN and inhibits its activity.

Here it is shown that the interfacial shear stresses arise toward the traction free sidewall of microscale light emitting diode (LED) wires while the two complementary strained InGaN and GaN layers are relaxed to revert their bulk lattice parameters near the sidewall. The shear stresses with opposite signs achieve mechanical equilibrium by counterbalancing the change in the sign of the in-plane strain in each layer of the near-surface region.

  @article{ , abstract = {The hierarchical organization of the eukaryotic genome is crucial for nuclear activities and cellular development. Genetic aberrations can disrupt this 3D genomic architecture, potentially driving oncogenesis. However, current research often lacks a comprehensive perspective, focusing on specific mutation types and singular 3D structural levels. Here, pathological changes from chromosomes to nucleotides are systematically cataloged, including 10 789 interchromosomal translocations (ICTs), 18 863 structural variants (SVs), and 162 769 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The multilayered analysis reveals that fewer than 10% of ICTs disrupt territories via potent 3D interactions, and only a minimal fraction of SVs disrupt compartments or intersect topologically associated domain structures, yet these events significantly influence gene expression. Pathogenic SNPs typically show reduced interactions within the 3D genomic space. To investigate the effects of variants in the context of 3D organization, a two-phase scoring algorithm, 3DFunc, is developed to evaluate the pathogenicity of variant–gene pairs in cancer. Using 3DFunc, IGHV3-23′s critical role in chronic lymphocytic leukemia is identified and it is found that three pathological SNPs (rs6605578, rs7814783, rs2738144) interact with DEFA3. Additionally, 3DGAtlas is introduced, which provides a highly accessible 3D genome atlas and a valuable resource for exploring the pathological effects of genetic mutations in cancer.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Li Tang and Matthew C.

  @article{ , abstract = {The lack of targetable antigens poses a significant challenge in developing effective cancer-targeted therapies. Cell surface translocation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones, such as glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), during malignancy, drug resistance, and ER stress induced by therapies, offers a promising pan-cancer target. To target GRP78, nanobody C5, identified from a phage library and exhibiting high affinity for human and mouse GRP78, is utilized to develop the Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE) immunotoxin C5-PE38. C5-PE38 induced ER stress, apoptosis and immunogenic cell death in targeted cells and showed antitumor efficacy against colorectal cancer and melanoma models without obvious toxicity. Mechanistically, transcriptome profiling showed that C5-PE38 reshaped the tumor immune microenvironment with enhanced innate and adaptive immune response and response to interferon beta. Moreover, C5-PE38-induced cell death could trans-activate STING pathway in dendritic cells and macrophages, promoting CD8 + T cell infiltration. It also sensitizes both primary and metastatic melanomas to anti-PD1 therapy, partly through STING activation. Overall, this study unveils a feasible GRP78 nanobody-directed therapy strategy for single or combinatorial cancer intervention.

  @article{ , abstract = {The immune evasion is one major challenge for cancer immunotherapy. Despite considerable advancements in immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies for the advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, only a minority of patients receive long-term survival benefit. Here, this work demonstrates that lysine methyltransferase 5C (KMT5C) is a crucial promoter of the NSCLC progression and immune evasion. This work first observes that upregulation of KMT5C in NSCLC correlated with cancer progression and poor patient prognosis. Notably, KMT5C knockdown in NSCLC cells suppress tumor growth and metastasis in mice. Mechanistically, this work demonstrates that KMT5C activated the DNA repair response to inhibit the STING-IRF3 pathway, downstream type I IFN signaling, and CCL5 secretion, leading to the downregulation of CD8 + T cell infiltration and function in NSCLC, ultimately facilitating tumor immune evasion and tumor progression. Importantly, both the pharmacological inhibitor A196 and the genetic inhibition of KMT5C could synergize with anti-PD-1 therapy in the lung cancer mouse model. Clinically, high expression levels of KMT5C in patients with NSCLC are associated with a lower response rate and worse clinical outcomes to ICB therapy. Therefore, these findings identify a previously unknown functional link between KMT5C and tumor immune evasion, and demonstrate that targeting KMT5C may be a potential therapeutic approach for enhancing the efficacy of NSCLC patients to ICB therapy.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yunfeng Yuan and Qianyu Li and Guoquan Yan and Yifei Qian and Wenyun Guo and Songling Li and Fan Wang and Wanjing Shang and Zijun Zhu and Di Ge and Yanan Wang and Yanfeng Liu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202407575}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {19}, pages = {2407575}, shortjournal = {Adv.

The present study investigates this miRNA as a singular factor to treat IPF. Liposomes containing miR-30a mimic can be delivered to rodents through dry powder inhalation.

To tackle this issue, a representative deep big model, RoseTTAFold, is proposed with promising success. Here, “a light-weight deep graph network, named LightRoseTTA,” is reported to achieve accurate and highly efficient prediction for proteins. Notably, three highlights are possessed by LightRoseTTA: i) high-accurate structure prediction for proteins, being “competitive with RoseTTAFold” on multiple popular datasets including CASP14 and CAMEO; ii) high-efficient training and inference with a light-weight model, costing “only 1 week on one single NVIDIA 3090 GPU for model-training” (vs 30 days on 8 NVIDIA V100 GPUs for RoseTTAFold) and containing “only 1.4M parameters” (vs 130M in RoseTTAFold); iii) low dependency on multi-sequence alignment (MSA), achieving the best performance on three MSA-insufficient datasets: Orphan, De novo, and Orphan25. Besides, LightRoseTTA is “transferable” from general proteins to antibody data, as verified in the experiments. The time and resource costs of LightRoseTTA and RoseTTAFold are further discussed to demonstrate the feasibility of light-weight models for protein structure prediction, which may be crucial in resource-limited research for universities and academic institutions.

BC patient samples display elevated SETD8 protein expression, and higher expression of SETD8 correlates with poorer prognosis. Further, MYC is identified as a novel substrate for SETD8. Specifically, SETD8 methylates MYC at lysine 412 (K412), disrupting the interaction between MYC and the E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP, which results in MYC stabilization and ultimately promotes tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, this study uncovers that SUMOylation of SETD8 leads to SETD8 stabilization. The SUMOylated SETD8 further enhances MYC methylation and stabilization via SUMO-SIM interaction. Knocking down SETD8 or using the SETD8 specific inhibitor UNC0379 substantially reduces the protein level of MYC and inhibits the bladder tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. These findings provide strong support for the idea that targeting the SETD8/MYC axis offers a promising therapeutic approach for BC patient.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xia Zhang and Zhenxuan Chen and Xiaobo He and Jingxuan Wang and Jianliang Zhong and Yezi Zou and Xianchong Zheng and Yujie Lin and Ruhua Zhang and Tiebang Kang and Liwen Zhou and Yuanzhong Wu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202501734}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {18}, pages = {2501734}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Herein, for the first time, an electrochemically-driven reconstruction strategy is demonstrated to convert semi-polymerized low-crystalline COFs into highly crystalline, structurally ordered COFs with enhanced HER activity. In situ and ex situ characterizations reveal that cyclic voltammetry (CV) cycles can promote crystallinity, thereby leading to improved conductivity, increased active site density, and superior stability. As a result, the highly crystalline COF achieves low overpotentials of 103.6 and 219.4 mV at 10 and 50 mA cm −2 , respectively, with excellent stability (1200 h at 50 mA cm −2 ). More importantly, this strategy is generalizable and effective for various imine-linked COFs with different bonding types, significantly improving their crystallinity and HER activity.

In vivo, both depletion of macrophages and knockout of Trem2 significantly reduced pathological new bone formation in a collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) model. Specifically, TREM2 + macrophages promoted osteogenic differentiation of ligament-derived progenitor cells (LDPCs) by secreting CREG1, a secretory glycoprotein involved in cell differentiation and normal physiology. CREG1-IGF2R-PI3K-AKT signaling pathway is involved in TREM2 + macrophage-mediated pathological new bone formation.

As the SWCNT diameter increases, C 70 molecules first stack in a single chain, then form unusual configurations, including staggered double chains and double helices—configurations not observed in bulk C 70 crystals. SWCNT deformation, which is often overlooked in previous theoretical works, is found to significantly alter the C 70 stacking configuration.

In vivo, TSF@ES-Cu reshapes the tumor microenvironment (TME), increasing mature DCs from 22.7% to 43.3%, CD8 + T cells from 5.08% to 17.1%, and reducing M2 macrophages from 50.7% to 18.4%. Additionally, the combined anti-tumor efficacy of TSF@ES-Cu and αPDL-1 is 1.6 times higher than TSF@ES-Cu alone and 2.5 times higher than αPDL-1 alone. In summary, this study reports that the combination of TSF@ES-Cu and αPDL-1 effectively induces cuproptosis and reshapes the TME, offering a new approach for copper nanomaterial-based tumor immunotherapy.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Si Gao and Haodong Ge and Lili Gao and Ying Gao and Shuibin Tang and Yiming Li and Zhiqing Yuan and Wei Chen}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202417676}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {18}, pages = {2417676}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Carbon dots (CDs) featuring low-cost, non-toxic, and appealing optical properties demonstrate promising applications in energy, e.g. solar energy capture and conversion. However, it remains a significant challenge to expand the absorption bands of CDs from visible to near-infrared (NIR) spectral regions to harness the entire spectrum of sunlight for efficient solar energy utilization. Herein, hierarchical assemblies of CDs (HA-CDs) are constructed by stepwise assembling monodispersed ultraviolet-absorbing CDs to water-soluble visible-NIR absorbing supra-CDs (PA-CDs), and then complexing PA-CDs with Fe 3+ ions to form 3D porous architectures (HA-CDs) with full solar spectrum absorption and good water resistance. Notably, the HA-CDs exhibit good hydrophilicity and superior photothermal conversion efficiency of 84% under simulated solar irradiation. The facile Fe 3+ ion cross-linking assembly property enables the in situ preparation of HA-CDs on various fabric substrates, resulting in low-cost, high-performance photothermal conversion products. High-performance 2D solar-driven interfacial water evaporation, electricity generation, and water-electricity cogeneration have been demonstrated in the HA-CDs in situ coated fabric (HA-CDs-fabric).

  @article{ , abstract = {Exosomes are membrane-enclosed nanoparticles secreted by cells to mediate intercellular communication. Hence, functionalized exosomes are powerful tools in biology and medicine, and efficient methods to functionalize exosomes are highly desired. In this work, a novel approach is developed to modify and functionalize exosomes based on enzymatic engineering of their surface glycans. It employs a sialyltransferase and an azide-modified sialyl donor to enzymatically install azido-sialic acids onto exosomal glycans. The azide tags serve as universal molecular handles to attach various probes, e.g., biotin, protein, fluorophore, etc., by simple and biocompatible click chemistry. This approach is easy and effective, and the modified exosomes are readily retrieved from the plate, enabling the production of functional exosomes in practical scales for various studies and applications. The functionalized exosomes obtained are employed to profile exosomal glycans, disclosing the diverse glycosylation patterns of exosomes of different origins. They also facilitated comprehensive investigations on the cellular uptake of exosomes to disclose macropinocytosis as the main and general uptake route, while other endocytosis pathways are also partially involved in specific exosomes. Additionally, the new exosome functionalization approach has been demonstrated to be widely applicable to exosomes of different origins.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Sayan Kundu and Jiatong Guo and Md.

However, the scarcity of AFM in complex oxide presents a significant challenge in tuning their critical properties, thereby impeding the exploration of emergent phenomena and the advancement of practical applications. Quite recently, an AFM ground state is discovered in Nd 1-x Ce x NiO 3 , an oxide whose undoped parent counterpart exhibits metal-insulator transition dependent on temperature. Herein, the engineering of the AFM state by epitaxial strain in Nd 1-x Ce x NiO 3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.07) films is demonstrated, where both Néel temperature and the metal–metal transition temperature exhibit significant response. Particularly in the 5% Ce-doping counterpart (Nd 0.95 Ce 0.05 NiO 3 ), a suppression of the structural transition driven by compression strain causes a transition of the electronic/magnetic ground state from the AFM to paramagnetic metal. The O-K edge X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) reveal that strain plays a crucial role in modulating the magnetic ground state through modifying Ni─O hybridization.

  @article{ , abstract = {Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by excessive fibroblast recruitment and persistent extracellular matrix deposition at sites of tissue injury, leading to severe morbidity and mortality. However, the precise mechanisms by which fibroblasts contribute to IPF pathogenesis remain poorly understood. The study reveals that Sema3E and its receptor Plexin D1 are significantly overexpressed in the lungs of IPF patients and bleomycin (BLM)-induced lung fibrotic mice. Elevated plasma levels of Sema3E in IPF patients are negatively correlated with lung function. Importantly, Sema3E in IPF lungs predominantly exists as the P61-Sema3E. The knockdown of Sema3E or Plexin D1 effectively inhibits fibroblast activation, proliferation, and migration. Mechanistically, Furin-mediated cleavage of P87-Sema3E into P61-Sema3E drives these pro-fibrotic activities, with P61-Sema3E-PlexinD1 axis promoting fibroblast activation, proliferation, and migration by affecting the phosphorylation of ErbB2, which subsequently activates the ErbB2 pathways. Additionally, Furin inhibition reduces fibroblast activity by decreasing P61-Sema3E production. In vivo, both whole-lung Sema3E knockdown and fibroblast-specific Sema3E knockout confer protection against BLM-induced lung fibrosis.

Results showed the not-α variant (Y45) activates regulatory T cells (Tregs) via βγ chain binding, overriding CD8+ T cells and impairing efficacy. Conversely, the not-β IL-2 (D20) is inert alone but spatially blocks Y45’s βγ engagement, suppressing Treg activation. D20 also modulates activated CD8+ T cells by preferentially binding the α chain, disrupting Y45-mediated βγ signaling to prevent exhaustion and terminal differentiation.

  @article{ , abstract = {Accumulated evidence of transgenerational inheritance of epigenetic and symbiotic changes raises fundamental questions about the possible types, significance and duration of impacts on the population, as well as whether, and under which conditions, the inheritance of non-genetic changes confers long-term advantage to the population. To address these questions, a population epigenetics model of individuals undergoing stochastic changes and/or induced responses that are transmitted to the offspringis introduced. Potentially adaptive and maladaptive responses are represented, respectively, by environmentally driven changes that reduce and increase the selective pressure. Analytic solutions in a simplified case of populations that are exposed to either periodic or progressively deteriorating environments shows that acquisition and transmission of non-genetic changes that alleviate the selective pressure confer long-term advantage and may facilitate escape from extinction. Systematic analysis of outcomes as a function of population properties further identifies a non-traditional regime of adaptation mediated by stochastic changes that are rapidly acquired within a lifetime. Contrasting model predictions with experimental findings shows that inheritance of dynamically acquired changes enables rapid adaptation to unforeseen challenges and can account for population dynamics that is either unexpected or beyond the scope of traditional models.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Dino Osmanović and Yitzhak Rabin and Yoav Soen}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202414297}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {18}, pages = {2414297}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a characteristic chronic airway inflammatory disease that worsens over time, however, there are currently limited clinical therapeutics to suspend its progression. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), which have emerged as functional regulators in various diseases, including COPD, may server as new pharmacological targets in COPD. Here, it is identified a nuclear circRNA, circCANX, that is preferentially decreased in COPD. The linear splicing of CANX pre-mRNA, enhanced by the ADAR1-HNRNPL interaction, is responsible for the circCANX decline. Clinically, the higher circCANX expression is associated with a worse lung function index of FEV 1 /FVC among patients with COPD. CircCANX suppresses autophagy and stress granule (SG) formation to strengthen inflammation of COPD in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, circCANX recruits the tumor suppressor protein P53 (P53) mRNA and RNA helicase upstream frameshift 1 (UPF1) to form a ternary complex, which mediates P53 mRNA degradation through nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) process. Together, this study reveals an important circCANX-mediated regulatory mechanism in COPD, and provides new insights into the potential of circRNA-based drug and biomarker development for COPD.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Ting-Ting Chen and Yuan-Yuan Wei and Jia-Ying Kang and Da-Wei Zhang and Jing-Jing Ye and Xi-Shi Sun and Mei Hong and Wen-Ting Zhang and Hui-Mei Wu and Zhen-Xing Ding and Guang-He Fei}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202414211}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {18}, pages = {2414211}, shortjournal = {Adv.

This method, compatible with all vinyl monomers and operable under mild conditions, enables imprinting at high monomer concentrations while preventing nanoparticle agglomeration. Notably, increasing the pre-polymerization solution concentration enhances the pre-assembly of functional monomers and template molecules, thereby improving imprinting efficiency.

Human genetic studies have unequivocally demonstrated that activation of LPL pathway reduces risks for both coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Although sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) is well established as the master transcription factor that regulates the hepatic biosynthesis of both cholesterol and fatty acids, whether and how its activity in liver interacts with peripheral LPL pathway remains unknown. Here, it is demonstrated that acute liver-specific depletion of SREBP2 results in divergent effects on the regulation of peripheral LPL activity in mice, depending on the presence or absence of low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR). SREBP2 deficiency drastically elevates peripheral LPL activity through downregulation of plasma angiopoietin-related protein 3 (ANGPTL3) levels in LDLR-deficient mice. Moreover, in addition to SREBP2's transcriptional regulation of ANGPTL3, it is found that SREBP2 promotes proteasome-based degradation of ANGPTL3 in the presence of LDLR. Remarkably, acute depletion of hepatic SREBP2 protects against hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis, in which atherosclerotic lesions are reduced by 45% compared to control littermates.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate tumorigenesis, however, there is little literature on therapeutic targeting of lncRNAs with small molecule compounds. Here PRKCQ-AS1 is identified as the lncRNA most overexpressed in MYCN nonamplified, compared with MYCN -amplified, neuroblastoma cell lines. PRKCQ-AS1 expression is controlled by super-enhancers, and PRKCQ-AS1 RNA bound to MSI2 protein. RNA immunoprecipitation and sequencing identified BMX mRNA as the transcript most significantly disrupted from binding to MSI2 protein, after PRKCQ-AS1 knockdown. PRKCQ-AS1 or MSI2 knockdown reduces, while its overexpression enhances, BMX mRNA stability and expression, ERK protein phosphorylation and MYCN nonamplified neuroblastoma cell proliferation. PRKCQ-AS1 knockdown significantly suppresses neuroblastoma progression in mice. In human neuroblastoma tissues, high levels of PRKCQ-AS1 and MSI2 expression correlate with poor patient outcomes, independent of current prognostic markers. AlphaScreen of a compound library identifies NSC617570 as an efficient inhibitor of PRKCQ-AS1 RNA and MSI2 protein interaction, and NSC617570 reduces BMX expression, ERK protein phosphorylation, neuroblastoma cell proliferation in vitro and tumor progression in mice.

Analyzing AIP -associated regulatory gene networks can aid in identifying key regulatory mechanism(s) underlying foamy macrophage formation. A weighted gene co-expression network analysis on the Stockholm Atherosclerosis Gene Expression (STAGE) patient cohort identifies AIP as a negative correlate of Histocompatibility Minor 13 ( HM13 ), which encodes the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) protein Signal Peptide Peptidase (HM13/SPP). The negative correlation between AIP and HM13/SPP on mRNA and protein levels is validated in oxLDL-stimulated macrophages and human plaque foamy macrophages. Mechanistically, AIP, via its chaperone interaction with Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR), inhibits p38-c-JUN-mediated HM13 transactivation, thereby suppressing macrophage lipid accumulation. Myeloid HM13/SPP overexpression enhances oxLDL-induced foamy macrophage formation in vitro as well as atherogenesis and plaque foamy macrophage load in vivo, while myeloid HM13/SPP knockout produces the opposite effects.

  @article{ , abstract = {Surface defects play a crucial role in the photophysical properties and optoelectronic applications of perovskite materials. Although luminescent efficiency is improved through post-synthetic defect passivation, comprehensive optimization of photoluminescent performance via defect chemistry remains a significant challenge. Herein, a successful defect engineering strategy is demonstrated toward 0D perovskite of [DADPA]PbBr 5 (DADPA = diaminodipropylamine) single crystal to achieve multiple adjustable luminescent properties. Through fine-tuning the crystallization environment to diminish Br vacancy ( V Br ), [DADPA]PbBr 5 displays gradually evolutionary luminescence range from broadband blue-white to narrow green light emissions, with continuously adjustable dominant wavelengths (445–535 nm) and linewidths (134–27 nm). Meanwhile, the quantum yields increase significantly from 3.7% to 80.8%, and lifetime extends from 5.4 to 57.7 ns. This is the pioneering discovery in perovskite chemistry for simultaneous modification of multi-dimensional luminescent performances. Combined spectroscopic investigations and first-principles calculations indicate that the reducing V Br significantly narrows the bandgap and inhibits nonradiative recombination, which attenuates interband trap-state-associated broadband emission and facilitates the formation of bound exciton for enhanced emission efficiency. More remarkably, this universal strategy can be extended to other perovskite systems with similar luminescent adjustability, paving the way for applications of diverse perovskites with improved optoelectronic performance.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Chen Sun and Chang-Qing Jing and Dong-Yang Li and Meng-Han Dong and Ming-Xue An and Zhong-Hui Zhang and Cheng-Yang Yue and Honghan Fei and Xiao-Wu Lei}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202412459}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {18}, pages = {2412459}, shortjournal = {Adv.

In humans, the middle temporal area (hMT+) responded to both human and macaque BM stimuli, while the right posterior superior temporal sulcus (hpSTS) exhibited selective responses to human BM stimuli. This selectivity is evidenced by an increased feedforward connection from hMT+ to hpSTS during the processing of human BM stimuli. In monkeys, the MT region processed BM stimuli from both species, but no subregion in the STS anterior to MT is specific to conspecific BM stimuli.

  @article{ , abstract = {Synthetic lethality in homologous recombination (HR)-deficient cancers caused by Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) has been classically attributed to its role in DNA repair. The mode of action of PARPi and resistance thereof are now believed to be predominantly replication associated. Therefore, effective combinatorial approaches of targeting replication fork processing along with HR-downregulation to target HR-proficient and possibly PARPi-resistant tumors are warranted. Stilbenes are a privileged class of molecules, which include resveratrol, pterostilbene, piceatannol, etc , that modulate both replication processes and RAD51-expression. In this investigation, by screening a small library of stilbenes, including in-house synthesized molecules, trans -4,4′-dihydroxystilbene (DHS) was discovered as a potent natural agent, which downregulates RAD51 expression and HR repair (GFP-reporter assay). DHS induces extensive synergistic cell death in ovarian cancers when combined with talazoparib (PARPi). Mechanistically, DHS elicits replication-stress through severely impeding replication fork progress, speed, and inducing fork-asymmetry. This leads to robust induction of single stranded DNA (ssDNA) gaps and poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) in S-phase cells, signifying issues related to lagging (Okazaki) strand synthesis. PARPi, which abrogates PARylation, potentiates DHS induced ssDNA gaps, and their conversion into lethal double strand breaks through MRE11 action.

In mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and embryonic stem cells (mESCs), 89 596 and 115 165 silencers are identified, respectively. These silencers are ubiquitously distributed across the genome and are predominantly associated with low-expression genes. Additionally, these silencers are mainly cell-specific and function by binding to repressive transcription factors (TFs). Further, these silencers are notably enriched with the histone modification H3K9me3. It is observed that the transformation between dual-function silencers and enhancers is correlated with intracellular transcription factor concentrations, accompanied by changes in epigenetic modifications.

WSSV protein wsv220 binds to the repressor of shrimp nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (LvNrf2), called Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (LvKeap1), disrupting LvNrf2/LvKeap1 complex and facilitating LvNrf2 nuclear translocation. This activation of LvNrf2 causes up-regulation of antioxidant genes, including glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (LvG6PDH), which increases nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and glutathione (GSH) production, effectively eliminating excessive ROS. Moreover, WSSV exploits LvNrf2 to establish a positive feedback loop by up-regulating viral immediate early gene wsv051, which further enhances wsv220 expression. Knockdown of LvNrf2 or LvG6PDH reduces WSSV replication and increases host ROS levels.

The early diagnosis of infection and the treatment of advanced AE remain challenging. Herein, bulk RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, and spatial transcriptomics technologies are integrated, to reveal the host immune response mechanism against E. multilocularis both spatially and chronologically, collecting mouse liver samples at multiple timepoints up to 15 months post infection. These results unveil an unprecedented high-resolution spatial atlas of the E. multilocularis infection foci and the functional roles of neutrophils, Spp1 + macrophages, and fibroblasts during disease progression. The heterogeneity of neutrophil and macrophage subpopulations are critical in both parasite-killing and the occurrence of immunosuppression during AE progression.

  @article{ , abstract = {With the ever-present threat of pandemics, it is imperative vaccine technologies eliciting broad and durable immunity to high-risk pathogens are developed. Yet, current annual influenza vaccines, for example, fail to provide robust immunity against the 3–4 homologous strains they contain, let alone heterologous strains. Herein, this study demonstrates that sustained delivery of multivalent influenza vaccines from an injectable polymer-nanoparticle (PNP) hydrogel technology induces more rapid, consistent, and potent humoral immune responses against multiple homologous viruses, as well as potent responses against heterologous viruses and potential pandemic subtypes H5N1, H7N9 and H9N2. Further, admixing PNP hydrogels with commercial influenza vaccines results in stronger hemagglutination inhibition against both heterologous and homologous viruses. Additional investigation shows this enhanced potency and breadth arise from higher affinity antibodies targeting both the hemagglutinin stem and head. Overall, this simple and effective sustained delivery platform for multivalent annual influenza vaccines generates durable, potent, and remarkably broad immunity to influenza.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Olivia M.

  @article{ , abstract = {C-MYC is a proto-oncoprotein whose dysregulation triggers tumorigenesis and tumor progression in ≈70% of cancer cases. It is presently demonstrated that aberrantly upregulated MYC is caused by the overexpressed and “extra-nucleolar” PDCD11 in p53-mutant breast and colon cancer cells, which is highly correlated to tumor progression, metastasis, and recurrence. In the nucleoplasm, PDCD11 binds to the TAD of C-MYC to prevent SKP2, a transcriptional target of C-MYC as well as one of the major E3 ligase components targeting C-MYC, from interacting with and ubiquitinating C-MYC in feedback. The ensuing stabilized C-MYC activates downstream signaling to facilitate the cellular G1/S transition, proliferation, and migration. PDCD11 silencing restores SKP2-mediated C-MYC degradation, thereby remarkably suppressing tumor growth and metastasis in nude mice. These findings highlight PDCD11 as a novel C-MYC partner and thereby offer a potential therapeutic rationale to challenge PDCD11-mediated “pro-stabilization” effect on C-MYC, a widely considered “undruggable” target, to combat C-MYC-driven malignancies with p53 mutation.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Li Ding and Wei Ni and Yichao Ma and Lin Xu and Zhiping Zhang and Kai Liao and Jingwen Li and Xinyu Mei and Zhun Wang and Huiqian Ge and Jiajia Li and Dong Tang and Xinyue Zhang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202502416}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {17}, pages = {2502416}, shortjournal = {Adv.

However, the specific role of endocytosis in neurogenesis remains unclear. We uncover a critical function of the interferon-induced transmembrane protein, IFITM2, essential for endocytic processes in radial glial cells (RGCs). IFITM2 is highly expressed near the ventricular surface in the developing brain. Loss of IFITM2 impairs endosome formation and disrupts RGC maintenance. Mechanistically, we confirmed that the YXXø endocytic motif on IFITM2 is essential for its subcellular localization, with mutations in this motif reducing endocytic vesicles. Additionally, the K82 and K87 residues of IFITM2 interact with phosphoinositides to promote endocytic vesicle formation. Polarized localization of phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PI(3,4)P2) on the ventricular side suggests its role in vesicle formation. IFITM2 deficiency also leads to reduced phosphorylation of AKT and GSK3β.

Through careful regulation of the catalytic system and the design of hydrogenation–deoxygenation pathways, excellent yields of 4-propylcyclohexanol (92.2%), propylcyclohexene (93.3%), and propylcyclohexane (93.2%) are directionally achieved.

This resistance has driven the development of several drug candidates, including stimulators of interferon genes (STING) agonists to reprogram the immune system to fight off tumors. Preclinical studies demonstrated that STING agonists can trigger the cancer immunity cycle and increase type I interferon secretion and T cell activation, which subsequently induces tumor regression.

Herein, a new heavy-atom-free Type-I PS T-BNCy5 is presented by incorporating a biotin-modified naphthalimide (NI) unit into the meso -position of a N -benzyl-functionalized, strongly photon-capturing pentamethine cyanine (Cy5) dye. Such molecular engineering induces a rigid orthogonal geometry between NI and Cy5 units by introducing an intramolecular sandwich-like π–π stacking assembly, which effectively promotes intersystem crossing (ISC) and greatly extends the triplet-state lifetime (τ = 389 µs), thereby markedly improving the superoxide (O 2 •− )-generating ability. In vitro assays reveal that T-BNCy5 specifically accumulates in mitochondria, where it not only generates O 2 •− under photoirradiation but also induces the burst of the most cytotoxic hydroxy radical (HO • ) by a cascade of biochemical reactions, ultimately triggering cell ferroptosis with the IC 50 value up to ≈0.45 µ m whether under normoxia or hypoxia. In vivo assays manifest that, benefiting from its biotin unit, T-BNCy5 displays a strong tumor-targeting ability, and after a single PDT treatment, it can not only ablate the tumor almost completely but also be cleared from the body through biosafe urinary excretion, indicating its potential for future clinical translation.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Guangxiao Yao and Junfeng Miao and Yingying Huo and Wei Guo}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202417179}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {17}, pages = {2417179}, shortjournal = {Adv.

In this study, a salt-gradient model is proposed to deeply investigate the physical nature and update insights into the morphological, structural, and component evolution processes of Ag NPs from dispersed nanostructures to aggregation states in the salt-induced aggregation SERS strategy. A gradient interface is observed, where an ultrahigh sensitivity approaching a single molecule level, has been achieved in Ag colloidal system. An unusual dissolution of Ag, the release of Ag + ions from Ag NPs, and the final precipitation of AgCl can be evidenced. Thus, except for aggregation effect, the active AgCl packaging shell on the surface of Ag NPs remarkably improves the SERS property.

Additionally, whether porcine ESCs can be converted to extraembryonic endoderm (XEN) cells without genetic interventions has not been reported. Here, it is reported that Wnt inhibitors (i.e., XAV939 and IWR1) safeguard porcine ESCs from acquiring the XEN lineage. Porcine ESCs rely on Wnt inhibitors to maintain pluripotency. Without them, porcine ESCs exit from pluripotency and convert to XEN cells. An efficient strategy and culture conditions are further developed to directly derive porcine XEN cells from ESCs without gene editing. The resulting XEN cells from ESCs exhibit similar transcriptome and chromatin accessibility features to XEN cells from embryos and contribute to mouse extraembryonic tissues.

  @article{ , abstract = {Stimulating adipose tissue thermogenesis has emerged as a promising strategy for combating obesity, with uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) playing a central role in this process. However, the mechanisms that suppress adipose thermogenesis and energy dissipation in obesity are not fully understood. This study identifies mitochondrial carrier homolog 2 (MTCH2), an obesity susceptibility gene, as a negative regulator of energy homeostasis across flies, rodents, and humans. Notably, adipose-specific MTCH2 depletion in mice protects against high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obesity and metabolic disorders. Mechanistically, MTCH2 deficiency promotes energy expenditure by stimulating thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) and browning of subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT), accompanied by upregulated UCP1 protein expression, enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis, and increased lipolysis in BAT and scWAT. Using integrated RNA sequencing and proteomic analyses, this study demonstrates that MTCH2 is a key suppressor of thermogenesis by negatively regulating autophagy via Bcl-2-dependent mechanism.

  @article{ , abstract = {Bimetallic heterostructures, including core–shell and Janus configurations, often offer unique electrocatalytic properties compared to monometallic nanoparticles. However, achieving precise control over both elemental composition and spatial arrangement within these structures remains a challenge. Here, an electrosynthesis method is introduced that enables the fabrication of heterostructured bimetallic nanoparticles with precise, independent control of their elemental distribution. By leveraging dual-channel scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM), the local ionic environment is dynamically modulated in situ, adjusting the deposition bias between channels to achieve selective electrodeposition. This approach allows temporal control over the solution conditions within the SECCM droplet, facilitating the synthesis of multi-layer core–shell nanoparticles with tunable thickness, number, and sequence of layers. This technique is demonstrated with Pt–Cu and Pt–Ni systems, synthesizing arrays of Cu@Pt and Pt@Cu core–shell structures, which are then screened for catalytic activity in hydrogen evolution (HER) and oxygen reduction (ORR) reactions. The high spatial resolution and on-demand control over the composition and structure make this method well-suitable for creating arrays of complex, multi-metallic heterostructures, which is expected to accelerate the discovery of advanced electrocatalytic materials, offering a platform for efficient and scalable electrocatalyst screening.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Heekwon Lee and Xun Zhan and Jamie H.

Photo-dehydrogenation of PHPS, involving N─H and Si─H bond cleavage, is efficient and unaffected by light intensity.

  @article{ , abstract = {The dysregulation of the M1/M2 macrophage balance plays a pivotal role in autoimmune diseases. However, the interplay between microRNAs (miRNAs) and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modulation in regulating this balance remains poorly understood. Here, a significant reduction in miR-31-5p levels is observed in the lacrimal glands of rabbit autoimmune dacryoadenitis and the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) dry eye patients. Overexpression of miR-31-5p exhibits preventive and therapeutic effects on rabbit autoimmune dacryoadenitis. Further investigation revealed that miR-31-5p overexpression significantly restored the M1/M2 macrophage balance both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, miR-31-5p directly targets the P2x7 receptor (P2RX7), leading to the inactivation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling and reduced expression of M1 markers. Furthermore, methylated RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO)-mediated m6A demethylation, which sustains pri-miR-31 stability, is responsible for the decreased miR-31-5p levels in autoimmune dry eye. Notably, PBMC samples from SS dry eye patients further support the link between reduced miR-31-5p levels and M1 macrophage activation observed in rabbits.

More importantly, the detached clot debris, despite their random shapes, functions as magnetic “debris-robots” and can be efficiently propelled through helical swimming within flowing vessels, followed by retrieval using catheter suction. The entire process—including catheter delivery, controlled locomotion, clot detachment, and retrieval—can be completed in approximately half an hour, significantly saving time compared to the critical “Golden 6 hours” window for stroke treatment.

This work introduces the positive role of moisture in solid lubrication in the case of a newly described Ti-based MOF (COK-47) powder. COK-47 achieves an 8.5-fold friction reduction compared to AISI 304 steel-on-steel sliding under room air. In addition, COK-47 maintains a similarly low coefficient of friction (0.1–0.2) on various counterbodies, including Al 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , SiC, and Si 3 N 4 . Notably, compared to other widely studied MOFs (ZIF-8, ZIF-67) and 2D materials powder (MXene, TMD, rGO), COK-47 exhibits the lowest friction (≈0.1) under the same experimental settings. Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscopy indicate that the tribofilm is an amorphous film obtained by hydrolysis of COK-47 in the air with moisture.

To address this challenge, a novel self-assembled nanomedicine platform, PMDDH, is developed for the co-delivery of Dox and metformin, an antidiabetic drug with cardioprotective and anti-tumor properties. PMDDH integrates metformin into a polyethyleneimine-based bioactive excipient (PMet), with Dox intercalated into double-stranded DNA and a hyaluronic acid (HA) coating to enhance tumor targeting. The PMDDH significantly improves the pharmacokinetics and tumor-targeting capabilities of Dox, while metformin enhances the drug's anti-tumor activity by downregulating programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and activating the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway. Additionally, the DNA component stimulates the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway, which synergizes with Dox-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) to promote a robust anti-tumor immune response. PMDDH markedly reduces Dox-induced cardiotoxicity by preserving mitochondrial function, reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and inducing protective autophagy in cardiomyocytes.

  @article{ , abstract = {Multi-principal element alloys (MPEA) demonstrate exceptional stability during rapid solidification, making them ideal candidates for additive manufacturing and other high-design-flexibility techniques. Unexpectedly, MPEA failure often mimics that of conventional metals, with strain localization along phase or grain boundaries leading to typical crack initiation. Most strategies aim at reducing strain localization either suppress the formation of high-energy sites or dissipate energy at crack tips to enhance toughness, rarely achieving a synergy of both. Inspired by the microstructure of mouse enamel, nanoscale body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) phases into MPEAs are introduced, stabilized at phase boundaries to provide ample plastic space for dislocation-mediated deformation. This approach overcomes the local hardening limitations of nanoscale alloys and harmonizes traditional toughening mechanisms—such as crack deflection, blocking, and bridging—to mitigate strain localization. These mechanisms impart the alloy with ultra-high tensile strength (≈1458.1 MPa) and ductility (≈21.2%) without requiring heat treatment.

  @article{ , abstract = {Although significant progress in identifying molecular mediators of fibrosis is made, there is still controversy regarding the role and mechanism of autophagy in kidney fibrosis. Here, this study finds that autophagy related 5 (ATG5) is obviously increased in uric acid (UA), aristolochic acid (AA) and transforming growth factor- β 1 (TGF- β 1)-induced HK-2 cells, as well as in kidneys from patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mice with hyperuricemic nephropathy (HN), aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) and unilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (uIRI). Conditional deletion of ATG5 in HN, AAN and uIRI murine models significantly alleviated aberrant glycolysis, attenuated pathological lesions, and improved kidney function. Mechanistically, ATG5 mediates the binding between heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1 α ), thereby enhancing the stability of HIF-1 α and further promoting the overactivation of glycolysis. Subsequently, the aberrant glycolysis facilitated the occurrence of mitochondrial fission and inflammatory response, thus leading to kidney fibrosis. Taken together, the study provides solid evidence supporting that persistent activation of ATG5 in kidney tubules promotes kidney fibrosis.

Control experiments, cyclic voltammetry, Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ( 1 H NMR), gas chromatography, and other characterizations demonstrate that a critical tetranuclear Au(I) complex defines the electrochemical redox behavior of the reaction solution. The critical role of a base (e.g., triethylamine) is to suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction at the cathode, paving the way for the reduction of Au ions. To resolve the problem of over-reduction and deposition of Au on the cathode, pulsed electrolysis, which is specific to electrosynthesis is employed. It significantly improves the reaction rate and the isolated yield of Au 13 .

  @article{ , abstract = {Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) has been widely used in the manufacture of various daily and industrial products. As one of the most important endocrine disruptors, DBP has male reproductive toxicity and can lead to testicular dysfunction. In view of the fact that Leydig cells are important functional and structural units in the testis, their damage will affect testicular function. However, the underlying mechanism of DBP-caused damage to mouse Leydig cells remains elusive. In the study, it is confirmed that DBP can promote the expression of death-associated protein kinase 3 (DAPK3), thereby inducing autophagy of mouse Leydig cells by using in vivo and in vitro experiments. Also, bioinformatics analysis and molecular biology experimental techniques are utilized to further demonstrate that DBP-induced upregulation of DAPK3 results from both the activated transcription by specific protein 2 (Sp2) and the decreased ubiquitination and degradation by parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase (PRKN). Interestingly, melatonin can inhibit both Sp2/DAPK3 and PRKN/DAPK3 signaling pathways by inhibiting oxidative stress, thereby alleviating DBP-induced autophagy of mouse Leydig cells. Overall, the study unravels a novel regulatory mechanism of DBP-induced autophagy of mouse Leydig cells and identifies DAPK3 as a potential therapeutic target for DBP-caused damage to the male reproductive system.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Si Yang and Ying Yang and Linlin Xu and Chaoju Hao and Jiaxiang Chen}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202413936}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {5}, number = {17}, pages = {2413936}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Unlike the recognition that transition metals mainly serve as ORR active sites and metal oxides as OER active sites, it is found that both ORR/OER sites originate from Co 2 Nb 5 O 14 , while Co acts as an electronic regulatory unit. The SMSI interface promotes dynamic electron transfer between Co/Co 2 Nb 5 O 14 , and the reversible active sites of Nb 4+ /Nb 5+ realize bidirectional adsorption/migration of intermediates, thereby achieving dynamic reversible interface reconstitution.

Approximately 10–15% of infections result in neuroborreliosis, common symptoms of which include headaches, facial palsy, and long-term cognitive impairment. Previous studies of Bb dissemination focus on assessing Bb transmigration at static time points rather than analyzing the complex dynamic process of extravasation. Furthermore, current in vitro models lack crucial physiological factors such as flow, demonstrating a need for more robust models for studying Bb dissemination to understand its dynamics and mechanisms. Here, a 3D tissue-engineered microvessel model is used and fluorescently-labeled Bb is perfused to model vascular dissemination in non-tissue-specific (iEC) and brain-specific (iBMEC) microvessels while acquiring time-lapse images in real time. In iECs, extravasation involves two steps: adhesion to the endothelium and transmigration into the extracellular matrix, which can be modulated through glycocalyx degradation or inflammation. In contrast, Bb extravasation in iBMECs is an extremely rare event regardless of glycocalyx degradation or inflammation. In addition, circulating Bb do not induce endothelial activation in iECs or iBMECs, but induces barrier dysfunction in iECs. These findings provide a further understanding of Bb vascular dissemination.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Linus Wang and Zikai Xia and Anjan Singh and Bhavna Murarka and Nicole Baumgarth and John N.

Synchrotron-based X-ray reflectivity measurements of Ta films, commonly used in these qubits, reveal an unexplored interface layer at the metal-substrate interface. Scanning transmission electron microscopy and core-level electron energy loss spectroscopy identified an intermixing layer (≈0.65 ± 0.05 nm) at the metal-substrate interface containing Al, O, and Ta atoms. Density functional theory modeling reveals that the structure and properties of the Ta/sapphire heterojunctions are determined by the oxygen content on the sapphire surface prior to Ta deposition for two atomic terminations of sapphire. Using a multimodal approach, we gained deeper insights into the interface layer between the metal and substrate, which suggests that the orientation of deposited Ta films depend on the surface termination of sapphire.

  @article{ , abstract = {Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are clinically advanced delivery systems for RNA. The extensively developed structure of ionizable lipids greatly contributes to the functional delivery of mRNA. However, endosomal escape is one of the severe biological barriers that continue to render this process inefficient (e.g., less than 10%). Although LNPs contain phospholipids, their role is poorly understood, and there have been few attempts to perform the chemical engineering required to improve their functionality. Herein, a cubic phase-inducible fusogenic zwitterionic phospholipid derived from 1,2-dioleoyl-3- sn -glycero-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE), DOPE-Cx is described, that is designed to correct this problem. The orientation of a zwitterionic head group of DOPE is engineered by attaching a series of hydrophobic moieties for zwitterionic intermolecular interaction with the head structure of phosphatidylcholine (PC), and this is followed by a lipid-phase transition into non-lamellar phases to facilitate membrane fusion-mediated endosomal escape. A structure–activity relationship study reveals that DOPE-Cx lipids with small hydrophobic chains induce cubic phases instead of a hexagonal phase when mixed with PC, which enhances the functional delivery of mRNA in the liver as opposed to the action of the typically utilized and naturally occurring phospholipids.

When coated onto Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN), the resulting ECA@EcN system effectively scavenged reactive oxygen species (ROS), improving probiotic viability and promoting colon accumulation. Mechanistically, ECA protected EcN by suppressing the activation of the Flagellar Assembly and Branched-Chain Amino Acid Synthesis pathways, ultimately alleviating inflammation and modulating intestinal microbial communities to relieve IBD symptoms.

  @article{ , abstract = {Dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics is a key contributor to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Aberrant mitochondrial fission induced by dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) causes mitochondrial dysfunction in dopaminergic (DA) neurons. However, the mechanism of DRP1 activation and its role in PD progression remain unclear. In this study, Mass spectrometry analysis is performed and identified a significant increased DRP1 acetylation at lysine residue 711 (K711) in the mitochondria under oxidative stress. Enhanced DRP1 K711 acetylation facilitated DRP1 oligomerization, thereby exacerbating mitochondrial fragmentation and compromising the mitochondrial function. DRP1 K711 acetylation also affects mitochondrial DRP1 recruitment and fission independent of canonical S616 phosphorylation. Further analysis reveals the critical role of sirtuin (SIRT)-3 in deacetylating DRP1 K711 , thereby regulating mitochondrial dynamics and function. SIRT3 agonists significantly inhibit DRP1 K711 acetylation, rescue DA neuronal loss, and improve motor function in a PD mouse model. Conversely, selective knockout of SIRT3 in DA neurons exacerbates DRP1 K711 acetylation, leading to increased DA neuronal damage, neuronal death, and worsened motor dysfunction.

However, the specific effects and molecular mechanisms of TRAF3IP3 on the progression of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains poorly understood. This study reveals TRAF3IP3 is upregulated in several tumor tissues but exclusively decreased in LUAD and Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) tissues, consequential in a favorable overall survival (OS) in LUAD rather than LUSC. Herein, it is reported that TRAF3IP3 can suppress cell proliferation and promote the apoptosis rate of LUAD cells by inducing excessive ER stress-related apoptosis. Importantly, TRAF3IP3 triggers ER stress via the PERK/ATF4/CHOP pathway, accompanied by stimulated ER stress-induced cytoprotective autophagy in LUAD cells. Through IP-MS analysis, STRN3 is identified as a direct downstream interactor with TRAF3IP3 and corroborated to regulate ER stress positively. Mechanistically, TRAF3IP3 facilitates the recruitment of STRN3 to the ER lumen through its transmembrane domain and fulfills its functional role in ER stress in an STRN3-dependent manner in LUAD cells.

  @article{ , abstract = {Vertebrate embryogenesis requires the precisely timed specification of 3 germ cell layers— ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm— which give rise to tissues and organs in the developing organism. The tumor suppressor gene NF2, moesin-ezrin-radixin like (MERLIN) tumor suppressor (Nf2) is expressed in all 3 germ layers during mouse development and its homozygous deletion causes embryonic lethality. People with heterozygous NF2 mutations typically develop Schwann cell tumors, especially vestibular schwannoma, but the specific role of NF2 in human embryonic development is unclear. Here, human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are used to demonstrate that NF2 is essential for endoderm specification and formation in humans. Although endoderm differentiation is not impaired in hiPSCs with heterozygous NF2 mutation, NF2 knockout (NF2 −/− ) abolished the capacity to form endoderm in vitro, confirmed by loss of expression of endoderm-related genes and proteins, or teratomas in vivo. This defect is mediated by the nuclear translocation of yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), a transcription co-activator regulating lineage fate via the Hippo pathway and subsequent YAP1-mediated shutdown of Activin/Nodal signaling. Endoderm formation can be rescued via YAP1 knockdown or forced re-expression of NF2 in NF2 −/− cells.

  @article{ , abstract = {NR1B1/RARα expression is dynamically regulated in cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) in tumors, but the importance of its expression in anti-tumor CTLs remains unknown. RARα gene expression is upregulated in CTLs in tumor microenvironments (TME), but its protein expression is downregulated by retinoic acid. The role of RARα expression in regulating anti-tumor effector CTL (Teff) differentiation is reported. Mice that over-express RARα in T cells are defective in early Teff differentiation and fail to populate tumors. In contrast, RARα-deficient CTLs are hyper-active in making tumor-populating Teff cells, suggesting that RARα represses Teff differentiation. Moreover, RARα negatively controls the trafficking receptor switch from the lymphoid to an effector type. Generation of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells with reduced RARα expression produces highly effective CAR T cells with enhanced anti-tumor cytotoxicity. Mechanistically, upregulated RARα expression decreases the nuclear histone acetylase (HAT) activity, required for TCF1 to BATF transcription factor and trafficking switches during Teff differentiation. Additionally, RARα and BATF closely associate with each other on Teff-associated genes on the chromatin for possible cross-regulation. In sum, T cell-expressed RARα is identified as a novel negative regulator and potential target of intervention in promoting anti-cancer T cell immunity.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Patrick Niekamp and Ryun Hee Kim and Adithyan Jayaraman and Nils Klement and Raymond Kostlan and Chang H.

In this study, the underlying mechanisms of trans-differentiation is investigated and constructed an in-depth single-cell atlas of this process.

Here, it is first showed that the genomes of the two widespread and agriculturally important whiteflies Trialeurodes vaporariorum and Bemisia tabaci both contain a plant-derived thaumatin-like protein ( TLP ) gene, but with highly distinct functions in these closely related pests. In T. vaporariorum , TLP has maintained a function similar to that of the plant donor, acting as an antimicrobial protein to resist fungal infection; but in sharp contrast, in B. tabaci , TLP has evolved into an effector that suppresses plant defense responses.

  @article{ , abstract = {Filter synthesis is an inverse problem that is traditionally approached rationally by engineering the coupling between selected pairs of lumped resonators. The implicit restriction to spatially disjoint resonators strongly limits the design space, making it challenging to build extremely tunable filters. Here, agile free-form signal filtering and routing are demonstrated with an alternative purely-optimization-based approach leveraging a multi-parameter programmable system with many spatially overlapping modes. The approach is largely insensitive to system details other than the programmable system configuration. In the fabricated prototype, all ports and tunable meta-elements are strongly coupled via a quasi-2D chaotic cavity such that the meta-elements’ configuration efficiently controls the transfer function between the ports. The all-metallic device enables low-loss and ultra-wideband (UWB) tunability (7.5–13.5 GHz) and guarantees signal-strength-independent linearity. First, theoretical predictions about reflectionless and transmissionless scattering modes (including transmissionless exceptional points) are experimentally confirmed. Second, these transfer function zeros are imposed at desired frequencies within an UWB range. Third, low-loss reflectionless programmable signal routing is achieved. Fourth, the trade-off between routing fidelity and bandwidth is investigated, achieving 20 dB discrimination over 10 MHz bandwidth.

Nevertheless, the influence of this unique structural feature on anti-icing performance remains to be further explored. In this work, static/dynamic anti-icing performance is investigated on the asymmetric superhydrophobic structures fabricated by micro-milling combined with electrodeposition. Notably, although the reduction of the degree of asymmetry increases the droplet adhesion force by augmenting the solid-liquid interface, asymmetric structures can still enable the droplet to bounce off the surface through the horizontal Laplace force generated by the contact angle difference between the two sides of the droplet. On this basis, a dynamic behavior criterion for the droplet to detach from the surface is established at low temperatures. Molecular dynamics simulation indicates that the asymmetric structure can reduce the icing probability on the precursor film by inhibiting the nucleation and growth process of water molecules, decreasing the liquid-ice interface, and reducing the adhesion under low temperatures. Generally, specific asymmetric structures with nucleation inhibition characteristics can reduce droplet adhesion and increase the driving force during the droplet retraction stage by enhancing the horizontal Laplace force, effectively improving the dynamic non-wetting performance of the surface at even −40 °C.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jiawei Jiang and Yizhou Shen and Yangjiangshan Xu and Zhen Wang and Senyun Liu and Yanyan Lin and Jie Tao and Zhong Chen}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202500590}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {16}, pages = {2500590}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Hemostatic materials play a crucial role in wound healing by promoting blood concentration or releasing procoagulant factors. While hydrophilic hemostatic materials are effective, they may cause excessive blood loss and difficulty removing from the wound. Conversely, hydrophobic hemostatic materials avoid these issues but may hinder blood concentration and the release of procoagulant factors due to their water-repellent nature. This study investigates the hemostatic properties and underlying mechanism of puffball ( Bovistella sp.) spores, a traditional hemostatic material. The unique hollow ball-rod morphology and strong water affinity of puffball spores enable efficient water removal, leading to improved blood clotting without the drawbacks typically associated with hydrophilic hemostatic materials. Further analysis reveals that the nano-protrusions on the spore surface create a textured hydrophobic surface due to the pinning effect, which prevents adhesion to the wound after clotting.

  @article{ , abstract = {Appropriate vascular and neural development is essential for central nervous system (CNS). Although programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1) mediates neurogenesis, its role in cerebrovascular development remains poorly understood. Here, a correlation between cerebral vessels and oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) is revealed during brain development. The ablation of endothelial PD-1 triggers cortical hypervascularization through excessive angiogenic sprouting, concomitantly driving OPC differentiation. These alterations disrupt blood brain barrier (BBB) maturation, induce dysmyelination, and ultimately result in abnormal behavior in mice. Mechanistically, the loss of endothelial PD-1 suppresses the activity of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby disrupting normal angiogenesis. Concurrently, it activates the MEK1/2-ERK1/2-GLI1 pathway, leading to increased GREMLIN1 (GREM1) expression. Elevated GREM1 secretion inhibits the BMP/SMAD1/5/SMAD4 signaling cascade in OPCs, which inhibits oligodendrogenesis and myelination. These findings indicate the importance of endothelial cell-intrinsic PD-1 in regulating the oligovascular niche, and suggest potential therapeutic implications for neurological disorders associated with disrupted vascular development.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Tingting He and Mengtian Zhang and Jie Qin and Yanyan Wang and Sihan Li and Chaoyi Du and Jianwei Jiao and Fen Ji}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202417410}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {16}, pages = {2417410}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Spinal cord injury is characterized by high incidence and high disability, and the specific targets and drugs have not yet been explored. Lipid droplet is a type of organelles that regulates lipid metabolism and oxidative stress. And the regulatory mechanisms of lipid droplets on spinal cord injury remain unclear. Herein, it is found that GTPase activation of Annexin A7 (ANXA7) promotes the up-regulation of genes related to lipid droplet formation. ANXA7 can interact with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) to enhance the stability of PPARγ, and promote lipid droplet formation and interaction with mitochondria through promoting Perilipin 5 expression. Then, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation are inhibited due to the promotion of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) nuclear translocation and expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). ANXA7 activation promotes lipid droplet formation and mitochondria-lipid droplet interaction by enhancing nuclear translocation of PPARγ, which contributes to inhibiting lipid peroxidation and neuron damage. Furthermore, activation of PPARγ can promote neural function recovery and spinal cord repair in mice. The focus of this study is to investigate the effects of lipid droplets regulated by ANXA7/PPARγ, providing new targets and strategies for spinal cord injury.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Lu Chen and Haoran Liu and Linlin Jiang and Zihang Wang and Yong Chang and Na Li and Shiqing Feng}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202417326}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {16}, pages = {2417326}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Recently, bacteria have great potential in improving lactate levels in the tumor microenvironment due to their physiological properties, tumor tropism, and immunogenicity. However, developing bacterial-based lactate regulation platforms is still facing great challenges due to bacterial modification impacts on activity, macrophage phagocytosis, and complex tumor microenvironment. Herein, an engineered Lactobacillus acidophilus (LH@LA) is developed, armed with a polymeric stealth coating that co-loads lactate oxidase (LOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). This coating protects bacteria from macrophage phagocytosis, maintaining their activity for deep tumor drug delivery. And then, LOx and HRP can consume much L-lactate in the tumor site through an enzyme cascade reaction to improve the immunosuppressive environment, while causing oxidative stress and reduced ATP supply, thereby reversing AKT-mTOR metabolic pathway activation to inhibit tumor growth. More interestingly, LA not only acts as a natural enzyme's carrier, but also induces anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages to polarize into pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages by secreting D-lactate, enhancing antitumor immunotherapy.

Acute oral administration of DON elicits a dose-responsive reduction in food intake, accompanied by pronounced alterations in locomotor activity and feeding frequency. This study investigates circuitry adaptations that mediate DON's effects on feeding, by targeting of GABA neurons in the CeA. Following exposure to DON, an increase in connectivity between the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) and CeA GABA neurons is observed, suggesting the involvement of this pathway in DON's adverse effects on feeding and emotional states. Chemogenetic and optogenetic manipulations of CeA GABA neurons resulted in substantial alterations in mice's feeding and overall activity. These findings suggest that CeA GABA neurons are involved in DON-induced anorexia and aversive-like emotional responses.

  @article{ , abstract = {Paternal lifestyle and environmental exposures can alter epigenetic changes in sperm and play a critical role in the offspring's future health, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The present study established a model of paternal obesity and found that the increased levels of H3K27me3 in sperm persist into the 8-cell embryo stage, resulting in a transgenerational decrease of Manf , which causes endoplasmic reticulum stress and activates the GRP78-PERK-EIF2α-ATF4-CHOP axis. This consequently leads to impaired glucose metabolism and apoptosis in the liver of female offspring. Based on these findings, the F0 mice are treated with 3-deazaneplanocin A, an EZH2 inhibitor, which successfully prevented metabolic dysfunction in F0 mice of the high-fat diet (HFD) group. Meanwhile, intravenous injection of recombinant human MANF in F1 female offspring can successfully rescue the metabolic dysfunction in the HFD-F1 group.

  @article{ , abstract = {Despite advances in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) therapies, resistance remains a major challenge. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death, plays a key role in cancer progression and treatment response. However, the mechanisms governing ferroptosis in NSCLC are not fully understood. The Hippo pathway, which regulates cell proliferation, has recently been implicated in ferroptosis regulation. In this study, we identify Mitotic Spindle Positioning (MISP) as a critical inhibitor of ferroptosis in NSCLC. MISP is upregulated in NSCLC tissues, and its loss sensitizes cells to ferroptosis, reducing cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, MISP binds to the SARAH domain of MST1/2 kinases, inhibiting their homodimerization and autophosphorylation, leading to sustained activation of YAP, a transcriptional coactivator in the Hippo pathway. YAP activation increases SLC7A11 expression, which protects cells from ferroptosis. We also identify a mutant MISP-R390/391A that disrupts MISP-MST1/2 binding, further illustrating the MST1/2-dependent inhibition of Hippo signaling. Notably, MISP is a target of YAP, creating a feedback loop that amplifies YAP signaling.

  @article{ , abstract = {Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a high-risk inflammatory disorder. SENP3, a SUMO2/3-specific protease, is closely involved in the development of cancer. In this study, the aim is to explore the role of SENP3 in macrophages in AAA. It is found that the protein expression of SENP3 is significantly upregulated in both human and murine AAA specimens. SENP3 expression is negatively regulated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase STUB1/CHIP. Furthermore, myeloid-specific SENP3 knockout inhibited AAA formation in both AngII- and CaCl 2 -induced mouse models. SENP3 deficiency repressed AAA lesion macrophage infiltration and inflammatory response. Mechanistic studies identified Cystathionine Gamma–Lyase (CTH), a critical enzyme involved in hydrogen sulfide production, as a target protein of SENP3 that mediated the exacerbating effects of SENP3 on ferroptosis and inflammatory programs in macrophages. SUMO-3 modification at Lysine 361 promoted CTH protein stability, whereas de-SUMOylation by SENP3 facilitated its proteasome-dependent degradation. Most importantly, it is found that CTH inhibitor counteracted the protective effect of SENP3 deficiency on AAA. Additionally, supplementation with ATB346, a novel H 2 S-donating naproxen derivative, prevented AAA development in mice. These studies suggest that SENP3-mediated CTH deSUMOylation regulates macrophage ferroptosis and AAA development. The SENP3/CTH axis is therefore an important therapeutic target for aortic aneurysmal diseases.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Long Chen and Zhaohua Cai and Danrui Xiao and Yiping Shi and Qingqing Xiao and Min Liang and Yangjing Jiang and Yijie Huang and Feng Liang and Guo Zhou and Fei Zhuang and Xia Wang and Huanhuan Huo and Liang Fang and Qin Shao and Ben He}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202414500}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {16}, pages = {2414500}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Lipid metabolism disorders in both neurons and glial cells have been found in neurodegenerative (ND) patients and animal models. However, the pathological connection between lipid droplets and NDs remains poorly understood. The recent work has highlighted the utility of a neuron-specific Arf1-knockout mouse model and corresponding cells for elucidating the nexus between lipid metabolism disorders and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study, it is found that Arf1 deficiency first induced surplus fatty acid synthesis through the AKT-mTORC1-SREBP1-FASN axis, which further triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondrial stress cascade via calcium flux. The organelle stress cascade further caused mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to be released into cytoplasm. Concurrently, the FASN-driven fatty acid synthesis in the Arf1-deficient neurons might also induce accumulation of sphingolipids in lysosomes that caused dysfunction of autophagy and lysosomes, which further promoted lysosomal stress and mitochondria-derived extracellular vesicles (MDEVs) release. The released MDEVs carried mtDNA into microglia to activate the inflammatory pathways and neurodegeneration. The studies on neuronal lipid droplets (LDs) and recent studies of microglial LDs suggest a unified pathological function of LDs in NDs: activating the inflammatory pathways in microglia.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) of parental and GEM-resistant pancreatic cancer cells are extracted and performed metabolic assays and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) sequencing. Pancreatic cancer cell-derived EVs promote PSCs activation and extracellular matrix formation, and GEM-resistant pancreatic cancer cells produce more asparagine (Asn), favoring PSCs activation.

  @article{ , abstract = {Timing perception is a fundamental cognitive function that allows organisms to navigate their environment effectively, encompassing both prospective and retrospective timing. Despite significant advancements in understanding how the brain processes temporal information, the neural mechanisms underlying these two forms of timing remain largely unexplored. In this study, it aims to bridge this knowledge gap by elucidating the functional roles of various neuronal populations in the striatum and prefrontal cortex (PFC) in shaping subjective experiences of time. Utilizing a large-scale electrode array, it recorded responses from over 3000 neurons in the striatum and PFC of macaque monkeys during timing tasks. The analysis classified neurons into distinct groups and revealed that retrospective and prospective timings are governed by separate neural processes. Specifically, this study demonstrates that medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in the striatum play a crucial role in facilitating these timing processes. Through cell-type-specific manipulation, it identified D2-MSNs as the primary contributors to both forms of timing. Additionally, the findings indicate that effective processing of timing requires coordination between the PFC and the striatum.

  @article{ , abstract = {The interplay between surface reconstruction and depolarization of ferroelectric oxide surfaces is strongly influenced by oxygen vacancies (V O ). Using in-situ atomic-resolution electron microscopy imaging and spectroscopy techniques, it is directly observed that a clean BaTiO 3 (001) surface stabilizes into (2 × 1) BaO-terminated reconstruction during vacuum annealing. This surface reconstruction is achieved with accommodating BaO deficiency and incorporates TiO x adunits. The cooperative atomic rumpling in both the surface and subsurface layers, arranged in a tail-to-tail configuration, is stabilized by planar accumulation of V O in the subsurface TiO 2 layer. This reduces the net polarization of surface unit cells, contributing to overall depolarization. Under this atomic rumpling, the polarization-down (P↓) state is energetically favored over the polarization-up (P↑) state, as the P↓ state requires less atomic relaxation in the bulk layers to achieve dipole inversion at the subsurface. The energetic preference for V O in the subsurface TiO 2 layer of the P↓ state is confirmed through calculations of V O formation energy and the energy barrier for surface-to-subsurface migration. These findings reveal that the presence of V O in the subsurface layer lifts the degeneracy in the double-well potential between the P↓ and P↑ states in BaTiO 3 (001).}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jeehun Jeong and Jaejin Hwang and Yaolong Xing and Zhipeng Wang and Jaekwang Lee and Sang Ho Oh}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202412781}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {16}, pages = {2412781}, shortjournal = {Adv.

As an example, the polaron concept is tested for a formamidinium lead triiodide perovskite solar cell. The individual steps of the data analysis are demonstrated and determine the ionicity factor of this perovskite film, quantify the density of the large polarons, and predict the gain and loss of photo-induced carriers.

DPImpute achieved 98.06% SNP imputation accuracy with minimal testing samples (≤10), reference samples (≤100), and an ultra-low sequencing depth of 0.3X, surpassing the accuracy of existing imputation methods. Moreover, this high accuracy is maintained across multi-ancestry human populations. Remarkably, DPImpute demonstrated accurate SNP imputation from low-coverage sequencing data from single blood cells and single blastocyst cells, highlighting its potential in embryo GS.

  @article{ , abstract = {Basal-like breast cancer (BLBC), overlapping with the subgroup of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and HER2 triple-negative breast cancer, has the worst prognosis and limited therapeutics.

Despite drugs targeting XPO1 are used in clinical, the regulation of XPO1 expression and functional mechanism is poorly understood, especially in BLBC. This study finds that KLF5 is a transcription factor of XPO1 , which increases RB1 nuclear export and cell proliferation in BLBC cells.

However, the underlying causes of excessive neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) production and mechanisms by which NETs contribute to the pathogenesis of BU remain incompletely understood. Neutrophils from BU patients exhibit a higher propensity for NETs release compared to healthy controls. In the experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU), neutrophils are observed to exert pro-inflammatory effects through NETs. Clearing NETs can inhibit T helper 17 (Th17) cell differentiation and significantly alleviate EAU symptoms. In vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrate neutralizing IL-17A markedly reducing neutrophil infiltration and NETs formation in EAU. Single-cell RNA sequencing confirms that CD44 plays a key role in mediating interactions between NETs and Th17 cells. Antagonizing CD44 inhibits the proportion of Th17 cells and NETs formation. Multiplex immunofluorescence and cell communication analyses further demonstrate interactions and colocalization between NETs and CD44 high CD4 + T cells in EAU.

It is demonstrated that RFWD3 is overexpressed in post-chemotherapy osteosarcoma tissues compared to pre-chemotherapy tissues. Knocking out RFWD3 increased the sensitivity of osteosarcoma cells to DDP treatment. Mechanistically, RFWD3 bound to and ubiquitinated PHGDH at the Lys137 residue, promoting its degradation and conserving cellular oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ). The resulting surplus of NAD + enhanced the TCA cycle, leading to increased production of aspartic acid and glutamic acid for de novo nucleotide biosynthesis.

  @article{ , abstract = {Multicellular organisms have hierarchical structures where multiple cells collectively form tissues with complex 3D architectures and exhibit higher-order functions. Inspired by this, to date, multiple protocell models have been assembled to form tissue-like structures termed prototissues. Despite recent advances in this research area, the programmed assembly of protocells into prototissue fibers with emergent functions still represents a significant challenge. The possibility of assembling prototissue fibers will open up a way to a novel type of prototissue subunit capable of hierarchical assembly into unprecedented soft functional materials with tunable architectures, modular and distributed functionalities. Herein, the first method to fabricate freestanding vesicle-based prototissue fibers with controlled lengths and diameters is devised. Importantly, it is also shown that the fibers can be composed of different specialized modules that, for example, can endow the fiber with magnetotaxis capabilities, or that can work synergistically to take an input diffusible chemical signals and transduce it into a readable fluorescent output through a hosted enzyme cascade reaction. Overall, this research addresses an important challenge of prototissue engineering and will find important applications in 3D bio-printing, tissue engineering, and soft robotics as next-generation bioinspired materials.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Tomoya Kojima and Kouichi Asakura and Pierangelo Gobbo and Taisuke Banno}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202409066}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {16}, pages = {2409066}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Current therapeutic strategies, such as exon-skipping and gene therapy, face limitations including truncated dystrophin production and safety concerns. To address these issues, a novel mRNA-based therapy is explored using polyplex nanomicelles to deliver mRNA encoding peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha isoform 4 (PGC-1α4) via hydrodynamic limb vein (HLV) administration. Using an in vivo muscle torque measurement technique, it is observed that nanomicelle-delivered Pgc-1α4 mRNA significantly improved muscle damage resistance and mitochondrial activity in mdx mice. Specifically, HLV administration of Pgc-1α4 mRNA in dystrophic muscles significantly relieved the torque reduction and myofiber injury induced by eccentric contraction (ECC), boosted metabolic gene expression, and enhanced muscle oxidative capacity. In comparison, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), a widely used mRNA delivery system, does not achieve similar protective effects, likely due to their intrinsic immunogenicity.

To overcome this challenge, the study presents MaTableGPT, which is a GPT-based table data extractor from the materials science literature. MaTableGPT features key strategies of table data representation and table splitting for better GPT comprehension and filtering hallucinated information through follow-up questions. When applied to a vast volume of water splitting catalysis literature, MaTableGPT achieves an extraction accuracy (total F1 score) of up to 96.8%. Through comprehensive evaluations of the GPT usage cost, labeling cost, and extraction accuracy for the learning methods of zero-shot, few-shot, and fine-tuning, the study presents a Pareto-front mapping where the few-shot learning method is found to be the most balanced solution owing to both its high extraction accuracy (total F1 score >95%) and low cost (GPT usage cost of 5.97 US dollars and labeling cost of 10 I/O paired examples).

  @article{ , abstract = {Macrophages are crucial drivers of innate immunity. Reprogramming macrophages to a restorative phenotype in cancer or autoimmune diseases can stop their cancer-promoting activity or trigger anti-inflammatory immunity. Glycans have emerged as key components for immunity as they are involved in many pathophysiological disorders. Previous studies have demonstrated that supraphysiological amounts of mannose (Man) or sialic acid (Sia) can inhibit tumor growth and stimulate differentiation of regulatory T cells. Man is known to affect glucose metabolism in glycolysis by competing for the same intracellular transporters and affecting macrophage polarization, whereas Sia alters macrophage differentiation via signaling through Siglec-1. Herein, this work describes a macrophage targeting platform using gold nanoparticles (GNPs) functionalized with Man and Sia monosaccharides which exhibit high liver tropism. A single dose of glyco-GNPs can convert macrophages to a restorative phenotype in two completely different immune environments. Man promotes tumor-associated macrophages toward an antitumorigenic activity in a MC38 liver colorectal cancer model by secretion of TNF-α, IL -1β, and IL -6 in the tumor microenvironment. However, in a proinflammatory environment, as observed in a mouse model of autoimmune disease, primary biliary cholangitis, Man impairs the production of TNF-α, IL-1β, Arg1, and IL-6 cytokines. The results probe the dual role of Man in macrophage repolarization in response to the immune system.

  @article{ , abstract = {G-quadruplex (G4) structures play important roles in various biological processes, especially the gene regulation. Nucleolar protein 56 (NOP56) is an essential component in ribosome biogenesis while its overexpression associates with various types of cancers, rendering it a significant therapeutic target. Here for the first time, an antiparallel chair-type G4 structure formed by a 21-nt DNA sequence from the intron 1 of NOP56 is reported, and its high-resolution structure is determined using solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The NOP56 -G4 has a special fold containing two G-tetrads and a C·G·C·G tetrad, which is further capped by a C∙C base pair. The G4 ligand pyridostatin (PDS) binds at the terminal G-tetrad through π–π stacking and electrostatic interactions, increasing the melting temperature of NOP56 -G4 by ≈14 °C. This study further shows that PDS can significantly reduce NOP56 mRNA levels in three cancer cell lines.

  @article{ , abstract = {The brain's response to external events depends on its internal arousal states, which are dynamically governed by neuromodulatory systems and have recently been linked to coordinated spike timing cascades in widespread brain networks. At rest, both arousal fluctuations and spiking cascades are evident throughout the forebrain and play out over multisecond time scales. Here, by analyzing large-scale neural recording data collected by the Allen Institute, it is demonstrated that these intrinsic processes persist across the mouse brain even during periods of continuous visual stimulation. In the stationary animal, each quasi-periodic cascade cycle systematically influenced 1) the efficacy of encoding in visually responsive brain areas and 2) the incidence of memory-related hippocampal ripples. During this cycle, the phase of high arousal is marked by high efficiency in visual encoding whereas the phase of low arousal is marked by the occurrence of hippocampal ripples. However, during bouts of active locomotion, this cycle is abolished and brain maintained a state of elevated visual coding efficiency, with ripples being nearly absent. It is hypothesized that the infra-slow cascade dynamics reflect an adaptive cycle of alternating exteroceptive sensory sampling and internal mnemonic function that persistently pervades the forebrain, only stopping during active exploration of the environment.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yifan Yang and David A.

In this work, high-throughput computing screening and machine learning are employed to evaluate the CO 2 separation performance of 54117 MMMs composed of 9 polymers and 6013 metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The structure-property relationships of MMMs are analyzed for 4 binary mixtures (CO 2 /X, X = CH 4 , N 2 , H 2 , O 2 ), and the best-performing combinations of MOFs and polymers are found, with which the MMM performance exceeded the Robeson's upper limit. Then, a stacked ensemble regression model with high accuracy (average R 2 = 0.96) is trained, demonstrating excellent extrapolation capability ( R 2 = 0.95) for new MMMs containing 6FDA-DAM. Furthermore, by utilizing Shapley Additive Explanations and data segmentation, it is identified that the pore limit diameter and largest cavity diameter in MOF features and the fractional free volume and density in polymer features are of paramount importance. Two extrapolation methods are compared and found that transfer learning is better for predicting CO 2 separation performance in MMMs and designing new materials with large datasets.

  @article{ , abstract = {Epigenetic regulation of neuronal transcriptomic landscape is emerging to be a key coordinator of mammalian neural regeneration. The roles of two histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylases, Kdm6a/b, in controlling neuroprotection and axon regeneration are investigated here. Deleting either Kdm6a or Kdm6b leads to enhanced sensory axon regeneration in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), whereas in the central nervous system (CNS), only deleting Kdm6a in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) significantly enhances optic nerve regeneration. Moreover, both Kdm6a and Kdm6b function to regulate RGC survival but with different mechanisms. Mechanistically, Kdm6a regulates RGC regeneration via distinct pathway from that of Pten, and co-deleting Kdm6a and Pten results in long distance optic nerve regeneration passing the optic chiasm. In addition, RNA-seq profiling reveals that Kdm6a deletion switches the RGC transcriptomics into a developmental-like state and suppresses several known repressors of neural regeneration. Klf4 is identified as a direct downstream target of Kdm6a-H3K27me3 signaling in both sensory neurons and RGCs to regulate axon regeneration. These findings not only reveal different roles of Kdm6a and Kdm6b in regulation of neural regeneration and their underlying mechanisms, but also identify Kdm6a-mediated histone demethylation signaling as a novel epigenetic target for supporting CNS neural regeneration.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Shu-Guang Yang and Chang-Ping Li and Xue-Wei Wang and Tao Huang and Cheng Qian and Qiao Li and Ling-Rui Zhao and Si-Yu Zhou and Chen-Yun Ding and Rui Nie and Saijilafu and Yu-Cai Hong and Chang-Mei Liu and Feng-Quan Zhou}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202405537}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {16}, pages = {2405537}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Bis(Triphenylamine)Phenoxazinone (BTP) features a phenoxazinone core with two triphenylamine donor groups, enabling light absorption up to 800 nm. Modifying BTP with an additional malononitrile group (MBTP) extends absorption into the NIR region up to 1200 nm. Optimized semi-organic catalysts with MBTP nanobelts and H-TiO 2 nanorods showed an excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 29.4 mmol g −1 h −1 and 60.4 µmol g −1 h −1 under UV–vis and NIR irradiation, respectively. Femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) spectroscopy showed rapid electron injection from the photoexcited phenoxazinone derivatives to the H-TiO 2 conduction band, indicating efficient charge carrier dynamics. Photoelectrochemical measurements confirmed improved charge transport and reduced recombination in the MBTP-based system, attributed to the stronger internal electric field and increased dipole moment from the malononitrile modification.

However, the direct fusion of scaffold with bulky guest enzymes may disrupt the assembly process or diminish catalytic efficiency. Most self-assembling protein scaffolds are engineered to form structures beforehand, and then carry guest proteins via different conjugation strategies in vitro. Here, a robust self-assembling scaffold is presented, engineered from Methanococcus jannaschii using disulfide bonds, which efficiently assembles bulky enzymes into higher-order helices without additional chemistry or bio-conjugation in vitro. When fused directly with monomeric Endo-1,4-beta-xylanase A, the catalytic efficiency of the guest enzyme increased by 2.5 times with enhanced thermostability. Additionally, integrating the scaffold with the multimeric metalloenzyme nitrile hydratase overcame the typical stability-activity trade-off of such industrial enzyme, yielding three-fold higher activity and 28-fold higher thermostability. Structural analyses suggest that the artificially made helical twist structures create new interface interactions and provide a concentration of active sites of guest enzymes. Further fusion of fluorescent protein pairs with the scaffold exhibited a 12-fold higher FRET efficiency, suggesting its potential for dual-enzyme cascade applications.

  @article{ , abstract = {Green and eco-friendly iron-based materials for efficient Cr(VI) removal have attracted considerable interest, but challenges related to narrow working pH ranges and iron utilization efficiency still remain. Herein, inspired by the hot-spot effect-triggered confined coordination strategy, a biomass-confined iron-based reductant (CMC-GTB/Fe bm ) is designed for Cr(VI) reduction and detoxification. Electron enrichment and confinement on biomass carriers are achieved through electron transfer mediated by coordination interactions between anchored iron species and biomass. Thus, the CMC-GTB/Fe bm achieved 99% Cr(VI) reduction at circumneutral pH (5–9), with a maximum removal capacity of 180 mg g −1 . Under iron dosing close to the stoichiometric ratio (Fe/Cr = 3/1), the Cr(VI) removal kinetics and efficiency of CMC-GTB/Fe bm are 53.2–870.5 and 5.5–48.8 times higher than those of micro- or nano-zero-valent iron (ZVI), respectively. Mechanistic analyses revealed that confined electron transfer is facilitated by coordination interactions between biomass and anchored iron species, which enhanced Cr(VI) reduction. Moreover, biomass-tethered reduced Cr(III) is stabilized by electrostatic adsorption and biomass-Cr(III) coordination, which ultimately detoxifies the phytotoxicity of Cr(VI). The conversion of this strategy to kilogram-scale production and the simulated Cr(VI) removal in real water matrices are confirmed.

GSH degrades the polymers to release small interfering RNA (siRNA) and expose the Prussian blue (PB) nanoenzymes, which effectively scavenge ROS and restore GSH levels. This feedback loop significantly enhances the gene silencing capability and ROS scavenging efficiency of the co-delivery system.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), with broad-spectrum activity and low propensity for resistance development, show promise as effective antibiotic adjuvants to reverse multidrug-resistance in bacteria. Herein, it is uncovered that a potent and non-toxic AMP termed GN1 substantially resensitizes MRSA to multiple β -lactam antibiotics at low concentrations. Mechanistic studies indicate that GN1 functions by suppressing both the production and enzymatic activity of MRSA-associated resistance determinants, including penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a) and β -lactamase. Additionally, GN1 exhibits a robust anti-virulence profile by inhibiting MRSA biofilm formation and staphyloxanthin production. Furthermore, GN1 induces bacterial metabolic perturbation, resulting in glutamate accumulation and oxidative damage. Importantly, the combination of GN1 with β -lactam antibiotics effectively mitigates MRSA-induced infections in the animal infection models. Collectively, these findings suggest that GN1 represents a potent β -lactam adjuvant and anti-virulence agent, offering a safe and versatile solution to combat MRSA infections.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jingru Shi and Chen Chen and Pan Kong and Feiyu Yu and Qingyan Lv and Zhiqiang Wang and Yuan Liu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202416260}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {15}, pages = {2416260}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Glycolytic reprogramming of macrophages is a decisive factor in atherosclerosis (AS) plaque formation. Eukaryotic elongation factor 1A1 (eEF1A1) plays an important role in protein synthesis, ubiquitination degradation, and nuclear translocation. However, the potential function of eEF1A1 in AS has not yet been fully understood. Here, the natural small molecule neferine (Nef), which targets eEF1A1 to suppress macrophage glycolytic reprogramming is discovered. In this work, chemical genetics and non-modified target confirmation assays are used to confirm that eEF1A1 is a direct target of Nef. Mechanically, Nef disrupted the formation of the eEF1A1/ARID3A/PKC-δ complex, inhibits phosphorylation of ARID3A at Thr491, and consequently prevents its nuclear translocation. Meanwhile, it is verified that ARID3A is a transcriptional regulator of enolase 2 (ENO2), an important enzyme in the glycolytic process. Nef suppresses ENO2 transcription activation by affecting ARID3A binding to the promoter region of ENO2, which results in macrophage glycolytic reprogramming inhibition and transformation of macrophages from M1 to M2.

In the presented study, the influence of available ionic and electronic conduction pathways within the cathode on the electrochemical performance of SPAN-based Li–S batteries is studied in details. To this end, a series of SPAN cathodes with different microstructures is prepared by adapting the compression degree of calendering. Mechanical and morphological characterizations confirm a pronounced springback effect due to a characteristic elastic deformation behavior of SPAN. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) shows increased cathode impedance values with multiple overlapping processes in the high- to mid-frequency region in highly compressed SPAN cathodes. Moreover, while the (first) discharge capacity is unaffected, the subsequent charge capacity decreases substantially for highly compressed cathodes.

The doped FePS 3 with FIM order exhibits a Curie temperature T c of ≈110 K, a strong out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy, and particularly an unusual hysteresis loop, where with increasing temperature, the area of magnetic hysteresis loop increases below 50 K, then decreases above 50 K and eventually disappears.

  @article{ , abstract = {Intratumoral heterogeneity, including epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), is one major cause of therapeutic resistance. The induction of ferroptosis, an iron-dependent death, has the potential in overcoming this resistance to traditional treatment modalities. However, the roles of distinct EMT phenotypes in ferroptosis remain an enigma. This study reports that 3D soft fibrin microenvironment confers colorectal cancer (CRC) cells hybrid EMT phenotype and high level of resistance to ferroptosis. The activation of histone acetylation and WNT/β-catenin signaling drives this EMT phenotypic transition, which promotes the defense of 3D CRCs against ferroptosis via glutathione peroxidases/ferritin signaling axis. Unexpectedly, E-cadherin knockout in 3D but not 2D CRCs mediates an integrin β 3 marked-late hybrid EMT state and further enhances the resistance to ferroptosis via integrin-mediated tension and mitochondrial reprogramming. The inhibition of integrin α v β 3 -mediated tension and WNT/β-catenin-mediated hybrid EMT sensitizes 3D CRCs with and without E-cadherin deficiency to ferroptosis in vivo, respectively. Further, the EMT phenotype of patient-derived tumoroids is associated with CRC therapeutic resistance. In summary, this study uncovers previously unappreciated roles of hybrid EMT and cell membrane tension in ferroptosis, which not only predict the treatment efficacy but also potentiate the development of new ferroptosis-based targeted therapeutic strategies.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xiaowei Wei and Yutong Ge and Yaolin Zheng and Sunyan Zhao and Yuhan Zhou and Yuhan Chang and Nuofan Wang and Xiumei Wang and Juan Zhang and Xuanchang Zhang and Liqiao Hu and Youhua Tan and Qiong Jia}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202413882}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {15}, pages = {2413882}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Despite the multiple roles of flexible and achiral Gly in regulating protein architectures and functions, its high flexibility is seldom exploited as a structural modulator in the design of self-assembling peptides. By using minimalistic peptide sequences, the effects of Gly insertions are investigated on the molecular conformation and the supramolecular morphology, focusing on Gly-induced bent structures and their impact on self-assembled nanostructures and handedness. Different backbone bending degrees are generated by varying Gly position, which in turn resulted in distinct hydrogen bonding modes and residue shifting upon dimerization, eventually leading to β -sheets and nanofibrils with opposite handedness. The bent structures are revealed to be primarily caused by van der Waals interactions between either the side chains themselves or the side chain and the local backbone around the inserted Gly, in sharp contrast to canonical β -turns stabilized by intrastrand hydrogen bonding. Hence, changing the side chain orientations of adjacent residues by chiral substitution can destabilize the bent structures, leading to wide ribbons with suprastructural chiral racemization.

Herein, it is demonstrated that increasing the configurational disorder of spinel metal oxides (M 3 O 4 , where M is a combination of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) leads to significant improvements in carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation performance. A substantial 63% decrease in the T 10 value (temperature to reach 10% CO oxidation) is observed by systematically increasing the number of first-row transition metals within the spinel oxide. Long-term stability studies reveal that the most disordered 7-metal spinel oxide exhibited superior resistance to catalyst deactivation compared to the 4-metal variant, showing a decrease in activity of only 4.7% versus 12.2% during 14 h of operation. A solventless thermolysis approach is developed to synthesize a series of medium entropy spinel oxide (MESO) and high entropy spinel oxides (HESOs) from discrete, air-stable molecular precursors.

However, the accumulation of free CpG in tumor tissues remains a substantial challenge. To address this, a nanovaccine (PLGA-CpG@ID8-M) is engineered by encapsulating CpG within PLGA using ID8 ovarian cancer cell membranes (ID8-M). This nanovaccine demonstrates remarkable efficacy in reprogramming TAMs in ovarian cancer and significantly extends survival in ID8-bearing mice. Notably, these findings indicate that the nanovaccine can also mitigate chemotherapy-induced immunosuppression by increasing the proportion of M1-like TAMs and reducing the expression of CD47 on tumor cells, thereby achieving a synergistic effect in tumor immunotherapy. Mechanistically, through transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq), single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and mass spectrometry-based proteomics, it is elucidated that the nanovaccine enhances the expression of Gbp2 and promotes the recruitment of Pin1, which activates the NFκB signaling pathway, leading to the M1 polarization of TAMs. Furthermore, macrophages with elevated Gbp2 expression significantly inhibit tumor growth in both ID8 ovarian cancer and 4T1 breast cancer models.

Unfortunately, due to a myriad of resistance mechanisms, the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) signals produced by tumor cells postradiotherapy often induce a diminished response from immune cells. Through chemical screening targeting deubiquitinating enzymes, we identified USP1 (Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 1) inhibitor as an enhancer of post-radiotherapy dsDNA responses. Mechanistically, within the context of immune-stimulatory cells in TME, USP1 serves as a suppressor in the stress-mediated stages of the cGAS (Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase) -STING (Stimulator of interferon genes protein) signaling pathway, specifically affecting the trafficking of STING from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi apparatus. It is elucidated that SAR1A (Secretion associated Ras related GTPase 1A) requires K27-linked oligo-ubiquitination to assemble the STING-COP-II (Coat protein II) transport complex for STING trafficking. USP1 counteracts this activation by removing SAR1A ubiquitination, thereby blocking STING trafficking and activation. Consequently, pharmacological USP1 inhibition using ML323 sustains SAR1A ubiquitination and COP-II complex formation, significantly enhancing STING trafficking and subsequent Type I IFN production.

Patient-derived organoids, patient-derived xenograft mouse models, and DEN/CCl 4 induced HCC models are constructed to evaluate the effects of HECTD2 both in vitro and in vivo. HECTD2 is found to be highly expressed in lenvatinib-resistant HCC cell lines, patient tissues, and patient-derived organoids and xenografts. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that overexpression of HECTD2 limits the response of HCC to lenvatinib treatment.

This study uncovers a novel metabolic axis involving the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) salvage pathway enzyme nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) and the deacetylase Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), which regulates PD-L1 expression and nuclear localization in CC.

This study investigates how X-linked gene dosage affects human primordial germ cell-like cells (hPGCLCs) specification in both healthy and diseased conditions. This work reveals that X-linked genes play a multifaceted role against the fate competency to hPGCLCs, with escape genes IGSF1 and CHRDL1 inhibiting the TGF-beta/Activin A and BMP pathways, respectively.

Furthermore, the inability to downregulate SOX2 and upregulate SOX17 in response to BMP signaling impedes downstream gene activation due to motif binding competition.

Moreover, the intrinsic difficulty of ordering the bio-organic self-assemblies into stable large-scale arrays in the liquid environment for engineering devices severely restricts their extensive applications. Herein, a gaseous organization strategy is proposed with the physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology, allowing the bio-organic monomers not only self-assemble into architectures well-established from the solvent-based approaches but morphologies distinct from those delivered from the liquid cases. Specifically, 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl-phenylalanine-phenylalanine (Fmoc-FF) self-assembles into spheres with tailored dimensions in the gaseous environment rather than conventional nanofibers, due to the distinct organization mechanisms. Arraying of the spherical architectures can integrate their behaviors, thus endorsing the bio-organic film the ability of programmable optoelectronic properties, which can be employed to design P-N heterojunction-based bio-photocapacitors for non-invasive and nongenetic neurostimulations.

Here CD147 is found significantly upregulated in tumor tissues of HCC. Mehozumab-DM1, a humanized anti-CD147 monoclonal antibody conjugated with Mertansine (DM1) is developed. Mehozumab-DM1 is effectively internalized by cancer cells and demonstrated potent antitumor efficacy in HCC cells. In vivo evaluation of Mehozumab-DM1 is conducted in a CRISPR-mediated PTEN and TP53 mutation cynomolgus monkey liver cancer model, which is poorly responsive to sorafenib treatment. Mehozumab-DM1 demonstrated potent tumor inhibitory efficacy at doses of 0.2 and 1.0 mg kg −1 treatment groups in cynomolgus monkey. No treatment-related adverse reactions or body weight loss are observed. Interestingly, Mehozumab-DM1 treatment induced RIPK-dependent tumor cell necroptosis through inhibiting IκB kinase/NF-κB pathway.

NAT10-mediated N4-acetylcytidine modification of CXCL2 and KLF5 mRNA increases their stability. Then, secreted CXCL2 is found to promote the infiltration and polarization of M2-like macrophages to produce oncostatin M, which transcriptionally activates NAT10 expression via STAT3 signaling. In addition, organoid models confirm that NAT10 promotes the adhesion of GC cells to hepatocytes. Mechanistically, KLF5 transcriptionally activates ITGαV, facilitating GC cell attachment to hepatocytes.

Therefore, improving the utilization efficiency and therapeutic effect of exogenous stem cells to delay intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is of great importance.

Experiments using AAV-shFXR, Fxr − / − mice and molecular assays demonstrated that GPA targets Ser332 and His447 on FXR ligand-binding domain, promoting FXR nuclear translocation and initiating cytochrome P450 proteins (CYPs) transcriptional activation for BA metabolism. Additionally, miRNA sequencing and RNA-pulldown assays showed that GPA-activated FXR upregulates miR-19a-3p, binding to LXR 3'UTR to inhibit cholesterol production.

  @article{ , abstract = {NLRP3 (NOD, LRR and pyrin domain-containing protein 3) inflammasome is important for host defense against infections and maintaining homeostasis. Aberrant activation of NLRP3 inflammasome is closely related to various inflammatory diseases. Post-translational modifications are critical for NLRP3 inflammasome regulation. However, the mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation remains incompletely understood. Here, it is demonstrated that the Ufm1 E3 ligase Ufl1 mediated UFMylation is essential for NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Mechanistically, Ufl1 binds and UFMylates NLRP3 in the priming stage of NLRP3 activation, thereby sustaining the stability of NLRP3 by preventing NLRP3 K63-linked ubiquitination and the subsequent autophagic degradation. It is further demonstrated that myeloid cell-specific Ufl1 or Ufm1 deficiency in mice significantly alleviated inflammatory responses and tissue damage following lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemia and alum-induced peritonitis. Thus, the findings offer new insights into potential therapeutic targets for NLRP3 inflammasome-related diseases by targeting the UFMylation system.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jiongjie Jing and Fan Yang and Ke Wang and Mintian Cui and Ni Kong and Shixi Wang and Xiaoyue Qiao and Fanyu Kong and Dongyang Zhao and Jinlu Ji and Lunxian Tang and Jiaxin Gao and Yu-Sheng Cong and Deqiang Ding and Kun Chen}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202406786}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {15}, pages = {2406786}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Initially, the performance of the ML models trained to approximate innate human facial recognition abilities across a dataset comprising 3600 phosphene images of human faces is analyzed. Subsequently, due to the time constraints and the potential for subject fatigue, the psychophysical test is limited to presenting only 720 low-resolution phosphene images to 36 human subjects. Notably, the superior model adeptly mirrors the behavioral trend of human subjects, offering precise predictions for 8 out of 9 phosphene quality levels on the overlapping test queries. Subsequently, human recognition performances for untested phosphene images are predicted, streamlining the process and minimizing the need for additional psychophysical tests.

A retrospective nine-center cohort study along with an independent validation cohort is conducted to examine the efficacy of azvudine (Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT06349655). The primary outcome is all-cause mortality and the secondary outcome is composite disease progression. Efficacy is assessed via Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox regression, with subgroup and sensitivity analyses for further validation. Among 32 864 hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 infected patients, 1022 eligible azvudine recipients, and 1022 controls are included through propensity score match. Kaplan–Meier analysis reveals that azvudine treatment is associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality and composite disease progression (both p <0.0001). Cox regression analysis suggests azvudine recipients could have a 39% lower risk of all-cause mortality than controls (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.468–0.795, p <0.001), but with no notable significance in composite disease progression (hazard ratio: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.686-1.061, p = 0.154). Subgroup analysis suggests that azvudine has a greater benefit for both all-cause mortality and composite disease progression in patients with kidney diseases or without autoimmune diseases. Three sensitivity analyses and validation cohorts confirm the robustness of the findings. Safety analysis observes few adverse events in azvudine recipients. Within 15 days after azvudine administration, no significant difference in liver function indexes and kidney function indexes is observed between the two groups except for a few time points.

  @article{ , abstract = {Manufacturing of ceramics is challenging due to their low toughness and high hardness. Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been explored to create complex ceramic structures, but current techniques face a tradeoff between precisely controlled feature sizes and high shrinkage at the microscales. Here, we introduce 3D-AJP, a novel freeform ceramic fabrication method that enables highly complex microscale 3D ceramic architectures—such as micropillars, spirals, and lattices—with minimal shrinkage and no auxiliary support. Using a near-binder-free nanoparticle ink in an Aerosol Jet (AJ) 3D printer, our approach precisely controls feature sizes down to 20 µm with aspect ratios up to 30:1. The resulting structures exhibit exceptionally low linear shrinkage of 2-6% upon sintering, spanning five orders of magnitude in length scale. Bi-material 3D architectures (zinc oxide/zirconia, zinc oxide/titania, titania/zirconia) and hybrid ceramics further demonstrate the technique’s versatility. We showcase two key applications. First, 3D ceramic photocatalysts improve water purification performance, achieving a 400% increase in photocatalytic efficiency compared to bulk ceramics. Second, we develop a highly sensitive Her2 biomarker sensor for breast cancer detection, achieving a 22-second response time and a record-low detection limit of 0.0193 f m .

  @article{ , abstract = {Abnormal adipogenesis is a major contributor to fetal growth restriction (FGR) and its associated complications. However, the underlying etiology remains unclear. Here, it is reported that the placentas of women with pregnancies complicated with FGR exhibit peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) inactivation. In mice, trophoblast-specific ablation of murine PPARγ reproduces the phenotype of human fetuses with FGR and defective adipogenesis. Coculture of trophoblasts with preadipocytes significantly improves preadipocyte commitment and differentiation and increases the transcription of a series of adipogenic genes via intercellular transfer of exosomal PPARγ proteins. Moreover, nanoparticle-mediated placenta-specific delivery of rosiglitazone (RGZ) significantly rescues adipogenesis defects in an FGR-induced mouse model. In summary, the placenta is a major reservoir of PPARγ. An insufficient supply of placental PPARγ to fetal preadipocytes via exosomes during late gestation is a major mechanism underlying FGR.

  @article{ , abstract = {Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial illness affecting tears and the ocular surface. The neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) is a target for controlling T helper 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cell (Treg) imbalances. This work creates a silk fibroin (SF) nanoparticle hydrogel that targets NK1R with CP-99,994 (CP). Combining CP and SF to generate stable nanoparticles while integrating a flexible hydrogel material results in a sustained-release ophthalmic drop formulation (SF@CP@Gel), which provides a long-lasting ocular formulation with anti-inflammatory and reparative properties. SF@CP@Gel could maintain a stable CP concentration for 25 h with detectable biological activity. The cell counting kit-8 and 2,7-DHL-DA results reveal that SF@CP@Gel has no cytotoxic effect on human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) and decreases the reactive oxygen species level in oxidatively damaged HCECs. Cell scratch assays demonstrate that SF@CP@Gel can greatly increase HCEC migration and proliferation within 24 h. Furthermore, in vivo therapy with topical SF@CP@Gel twice daily markedly reduce clinical symptoms by reducing the amount of pathogenic Th17 cells while efficiently restoring Treg activity. In summary, this work reveals that SF@CP@Gel might attenuate DED by inhibiting NK1R-mediated SP signaling and thereby modulating the Th17/Treg ratio, a potential anti-inflammatory and repair treatment method for DED.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Bo Gong and Yi Liu and Huan Li and Xueming Ju and Dongfeng Li and Yuhao Zou and Xiaoxin Guo and Kai Dong and Jialing Xiao and Weijia Wu and Renjie Chai and Ruifan Zhang and Man Yu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202404835}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {15}, pages = {2404835}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {N-doped polymer semiconductors are of great interest in the field of organic thermoelectrics, as high-conductive materials are still highly desired. In this framework, this paper aims to clarify whether the n-doping of naphthalene diimide-bithiophene copolymer, P(NDI2OD-T2), by 1H-benzimidazoles is a thermally activated process. The study interestingly demonstrates that a relevant change in conductivity, with an increase of more than three orders of magnitude with respect to pristine P(NDI2OD-T2), occurs before the annealing process takes place, thus revealing that benzimidazole-derived dopants are already active at room temperature. Moreover, despite the annealing time and temperature affecting the electrical conductivity of the system, their contribution is less relevant, with the increase of electrical conductivity limited to up to three times. The results from the electrical characterization of the samples are supported by infrared spectroscopy investigation and X-ray analysis, revealing the marker bands of polaron and a manifest structural change between the undoped and the just-doped P(NDI2OD-T2) films, accompanied by only minor modifications during the annealing process.

As the mediator of allergic process, mast cells have been found in various cancers and are associated with survival. However, the biological behaviors of tumor-associated mast cells (TAMCs) remain unclear. Herein, an excessive infiltration of TAMCs in PDAC is demonstrated, which apparently associated with poor survival in PDAC patients. PDAC cells are found to recruit CXCR2 + MCs into TME, and then inhibited MCs ferroptosis, and maintained their proliferation. Concomitantly, the tumor-derived exosome miR-188-5p activated the PTEN/AKT/GSK3β signaling, further stabilized transcriptional factor ERG by inhibiting its ubiquitin degradation, and finally enhanced the transcription of cxcl10 within TAMCs. In reverse, TAMCs-derived CXCL10 reversely promoted tumor epithelial-mesenchymal transition and induced immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by recruiting CXCR3 + Tregs. Sodium cromoglycate (SCG) is a membrane stabilizer for MCs and confirmed as an effective and widely used agent to block TAMCs-derived CXCL10 and further sensitize the therapeutic efficacy of anti-PD-1 antibody plus gemcitabine for PDAC. These findings illuminate a critical and innovative crosstalk between TAMCs and PDAC cells that promote PDAC progression, and SCG sensitizes PDAC to the current immuno-chemotherapy, which reveals its potential to be a valuable adjuvant for PDAC patients.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Hanlin Yin and Qiangda Chen and Shanshan Gao and Sami Shoucair and Yuqi Xie and Joseph R.

  @article{ , abstract = {cGAS (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase)-STING (stimulator of interferon genes) signaling plays a vital role in innate immunity, while its deregulation may lead to a wide variety of autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases. It is essential to identify specifically effective lead compounds to inhibit the signaling. Herein, it is shown that carnosic acid (CA), an active ingredient of medicinal plant Rosmarinus officinalis L ., specifically suppressed cGAS-STING pathway activation and the subsequent inflammatory responses. Mechanistically, CA directly bound to STING C-terminal tail (CTT), impeded the recruitment of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) onto STING signalosome, thereby blocking the phosphorylation of STING and interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) nuclear translocation. Importantly, CA dramatically attenuated STING-mediated inflammatory responses in vivo. Consistently, CA has a salient ameliorative effect on autoinflammatory disease model mediated by Trex1 deficiency, via inhibition of the cGAS-STING signaling. Notably, the study further indicates that phenolic hydroxyl groups are essential for CA-mediated STING inhibitory activity. Collectively, the results thus identify STING as one of the crucial targets of CA for mediating CA's anti-inflammatory activity, and further reveal that STING CTT may be a novel promising target for drug development.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Wenqing Mu and Guang Xu and Ling Li and Jincai Wen and Ye Xiu and Jia Zhao and Tingting Liu and Ziying Wei and Wei Luo and Huijie Yang and Zhixin Wu and Xiaoyan Zhan and Xiaohe Xiao and Zhaofang Bai}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202417686}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {14}, pages = {2417686}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Osteolytic bone cancer pain is a primary concern for cancer patients with bone metastasis, and current therapies offer inadequate pain relief. The present study demonstrates that activation of the G protein-coupled receptor 37 (GPR37) by neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1) or artesunate (ARU) alleviates both acute and persistent pain in multiple mouse models of bone cancer. GPR37 agonists also protect against cancer-induced bone destruction. Mechanistically, NPD1 or ARU binding to GPR37 in macrophages promotes the release of IL-10, which further inhibits cancer-induced osteoclastogenesis. Moreover, direct activation of GPR37 in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and the spinal dorsal horn reduces action potential firing and the frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs), thereby suppressing cancer-induced neuronal hyperexcitability. Importantly, the analgesic and protective effects of NPD1 and ARU are abolished in Gpr37 −/− mice, and β-arrestin 2 is identified as a key mediator in IL-10 release and neuronal inhibition. In patients with bone metastases, plasma levels of endogenous NPD1 are negatively correlated with both pain intensity and the bone resorption marker CTX-I.

These effects are particularly pronounced in studies using small antibody fragments, such as single-domain antibodies, or nanobodies.

Using heterodimeric nanobody conjugates, comprised of an antigen recognition module and a self-labeling module, enables us to attach the desired functional group at a location distal to the site of antigen recognition.

Herein, a nanorod-shaped Nb 2 O 5 :Pr 3+ phosphor, featuring a single ultra-narrow-band red emission at 612 nm with FWHM of only 19 nm, is reported. The single narrow-band is associated with oxygen vacancies, which can influence the electron–hole recombination energy.

Several small molecules are found to bind or dissolve α-syn fibrils, offering potential therapeutic applications. Here, an innovative optical tweezers-based, fluorescence-combined approach is developed to probe the mechanical characteristics of α-syn fibrils at the single-molecule level. When subjected to axial stretching, local deformation within α-syn fibrils appeared at forces above 50 pN. These structural alternations occurred stepwise and are irreversible, suggesting unfolding of individual α-syn molecules or subdomains. Additionally, α-syn fibrils exhibits high heterogeneity in lateral disruption, with rupture force ranging from 50 to 500 pN. The impact of different compounds on the structure and mechanical features of α-syn fibrils is further examined. Notably, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) generally attenuates the rupture force of fibrils by wedging into the N-terminal polar groove and induces fibril dissociation. Conversely, copper chlorophyllin A (CCA) attaches to four different sites wrapping around the fibril core, reinforcing the stability of the fibril against rupture forces.

  @article{ , abstract = {Lactate derived from aerobic glycolysis is crucial for DNA damage repair and chemoresistance. Nevertheless, it is frequently noted that cancer cells depend on glutaminolysis to replenish essential metabolites. Whether and how glutaminolysis might enhance lactate production and facilitate DNA repair in cancer cells remains unknown. Here, it is shown that malate enzyme 2 (ME2), which metabolizes glutamine-derived malate to pyruvate, contributes to lactate production and chemotherapy resistance in ovarian cancer. Mechanistically, chemotherapy reduces the expression of glucose transporters and impairs glucose uptake in cancer cells. The resultant decrease in intracellular glucose levels triggers the acetylation of ME2 at lysine 156 by ACAT1, which in turn potentiates ME2 enzyme activity and facilitates lactate production from glutamine. ME2-derived lactate contributes to the development of acquired chemoresistance in cancer cells subjected to prolonged chemotherapy, primarily by facilitating the lactylation of proteins involved in homologous recombination repair. Targeting ACAT1 to inhibit ME2 acetylation effectively reduced chemoresistance in both in vitro and in vivo models.

  @article{ , abstract = {Piezoelectric semiconductor nanomaterials have attracted considerable interest in piezocatalytic tumor treatment. However, piezocatalytic therapy encounters obstacles such as suboptimal piezoelectric responses, rapid electron-hole recombination, inefficient energy harvesting, and the complexities of the tumor microenvironment. In this study, sulfur vacancy-engineered cobalt (Co) single-atom doped molybdenum disulfide (SA-Co@MoS 2 ) nanoflowers are strategically designed, which exhibit enhanced piezoelectric effects. Specifically, the introduction of Co single atom not only induces lattice distortion and out-of-plane polarization but also leads to the formation of numerous sulfur vacancies. These changes collectively narrow the intrinsic bandgap of the material, facilitating effective separation and migration of charge carriers, and enabling efficient production of reactive oxygen species under ultrasound stimulation. Additionally, the SA-Co@MoS 2 nanoflowers demonstrate improved enzymatic activity and exhibit glutathione depletion capabilities attributed to the mixed valence states of Co, intensifying oxidative stress in tumor cells, and leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, while the inactivation of glutathione peroxidase 4 induces ferroptosis. Both in vitro and in vivo results indicate that SA-Co@MoS 2 nanoflowers can significantly eliminate tumor cells.

Using immunocompetent mouse models-including 4T1 orthotopic BALB/c mice and MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice, it is found that BP-PEG significantly inhibits tumor growth and metastasis without directly inducing cytotoxicity in tumor cells. Mass cytometry analysis reveals that BP-PEG reshapes the tumor immune microenvironment by recruiting neutrophils. Neutrophil depletion experiments further demonstrate that the antitumor effects of BP-PEG are dependent on neutrophils.

This configuration mitigates electric field interaction with the surrounding medium, making the coils ideal for use as near-field antennas in aquatic applications. Leveraging these electrically-shielded coils, a metamaterial-enhanced reader antenna was developed and a 3-axis sensor antenna for an near-field communication (NFC)-based system. The system demonstrated improved spectral stability, preserving resonance frequency and maintaining a high-quality factor.

The O v -MO@CPO maintains its structural integrity under neutral conditions but dissolves the pH-sensitive hydroxyapatite shell under acidic TME to release active oxygen vacancy-rich MnO 2 core, which reinvigorates H 2 O 2 consumption and hypoxia alleviation due to its catalase-like activity. Furthermore, the introduced oxygen vacancies optimize the electronic structure of O v -MO@CPO, with active electronic states near the Fermi level and higher d-band center. It results in accelerated electron-hole pair separation and lower catalytic energy barriers to boost ultrasound (US)-initiated ROS production. These multimodal synergistic effects effectively reverse the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. No evident toxic effects are observed in normal mouse tissues.

By analyzing public datasets, this work finds a strong correlation between c-Myc and HDAC7. RNA sequencing and cellular experiments show that XPO1 is a key regulator in the HDAC7/c-Myc axis. HDAC7 promotes β-catenin deacetylation, phosphorylation modulation, nuclear translocation, and formation of the β-catenin/TCF/LEF1 complex, which binds to c-Myc and XPO1 promoters. Activation of the HDAC7/β-catenin pathway upregulates c-Myc and XPO1 expression, while c-Myc also boosts XPO1 expression. Given the difficulty in targeting c-Myc directly, this work tests selinexor and vorinostat in SCLC xenograft models, with selinexor showing superior results.

In this study, it is shown that eEF2K is highly expressed in TNBC and is associated with poor prognosis. In vitro, in vivo, and patient-derived organoid experiments demonstrate that knockdown of eEF2K significantly impedes progression of TNBC. Proteomic analysis and confirmation experiments reveal that eEF2K positively regulates the mRNA and protein expressions of sex-determining region Y-box 8 (SOX8). Mechanistically, eEF2K binds to and phosphorylates aurora kinase A (AURKA) at S391, a newly identified phosphorylation site critical for maintaining AURKA protein stability and kinase activity. Moreover, the compound C1, a molecular glue to degrade eEF2K, is optimized by designing and synthesizing its derivatives using reasonable structure-based optimization approach. The new compound C4 shows  better ability to degrade eEF2K and stronger anti-cancer activity than C1.

However, the role of rare earth (RE) species in the CMAS (calcium-magnesium-aluminosilicate) corrosion behavior and mechanisms of RETaO 4 remains unclear, hindering their design and application as TBCs. This study employs a high-throughput approach to systematically investigate the CMAS corrosion mechanisms of RETaO 4 (RE = Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Y, and Er) at 1300 °C. Precise analysis of the microstructure and composition reveal that the primary corrosion products are (Ca 2-x RE x )(Ta 2-y-z Mg y Al z )O 7 solid solutions, along with minor amounts of Ca 2 RE 8 (SiO 4 ) 6 O 2 apatite. These corrosion products are observed both in the recession layer and at grain boundaries. The CMAS infiltration depth of RETaO 4 increases with the RE ionic radius. First-principles calculations indicate that the formation enthalpy of corrosion products becomes more exothermic as the RE ionic radius increases, promoting the formation of corrosion products. Additionally, the wetting behavior of liquid CMAS on RETaO 4 at high temperatures supports that RETaO 4 with smaller RE ionic radius present better corrosion resistance.

In this study, a novel approach for generating 3D-induced dopaminergic (iDA) neuron organoids directly from human fibroblasts is presented.

In Huntington's disease (HD), the aggregation of polyglutamine (PolyQ) not only contributes to the disease but also elevates free radical levels. However, measuring free radicals is difficult due to their short lifespan and limited diffusion range. Here, a quantum sensing technique (T1 relaxometry) is used that involves fluorescent nanodiamonds (FND). Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers within these nanodiamonds change their optical properties in response to magnetic noise, which allows detecting the unpaired electron from free radicals. This method is used to monitor the production of free radicals inside Caenorhabditis elegans models of Huntington's disease in vivo and in real-time. To investigate if radical generation occurs near polyglutamine expansions, a strain expressing Q40 yellow fluorescent protein (Q40::YFP, polyglutamine expansion overexpressed in the muscle) is used. By applying T1 relaxometry on FNDs in the body wall muscle, it is found that the production of free radicals significantly increase when PolyQ is expressed there (compared to the FNDs in intestine).

Understanding the mechanisms by which circRNAs function in tumors is crucial for identifying undiscovered diagnostic and treatment targets. This research centers on unraveling the mechanisms by which the novel circRNA, circFADS1, influences hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. CircFADS1 shows elevated expression in HCC and is linked to unfavorable prognosis. Functionally, circFADS1 overexpression accelerates HCC progression through inducing HCC proliferation and inhibited apoptosis. Mechanistically, RNA-seq analysis demonstrates its connection to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Moreover, circFADS1 interacts with GSK3β and promotes its ubiquitination and degradation by recruiting the ubiquitin ligase RNF114 while EIF4A3 facilitates the biogenesis of circFADS1. Additionally, circFADS1 is closely linked to lenvatinib resistance. Overall, this study reveals that circFADS1 regulates GSK3β function, influencing the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.

CRISPR-mediated base editing has emerged as a powerful method for modeling diseases caused by SNVs, particularly in zebrafish, which serve as an excellent platform for investigating disease mechanisms and conducting drug screenings. However, existing cytosine base editors (CBEs) for zebrafish often have broad editing windows and strong sequence preferences, limiting their effectiveness. In this study, zebrafish (z) TadA-derived cytosine base editors, termed zTadA-CBEs, are developed by introducing key mutations into the TadA8e enzyme. These novel editors demonstrate improved efficiency and precision in cytosine base editing. Specifically, zTadA-BE4max and zTadA-BEmv offer complementary editing windows, while zTadA-SpRY-BE4max allows for PAM-flexible editing. Using zTadA-CBEs, a precise disease model for Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome is established, and created two new models for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Additionally, a novel albinism model carrying two pathogenic SNVs in the F0 generation is developed. By employing specifically designed sgRNA, the fms ts± missense mutation is corrected back to the wild-type nucleotide (C > T), successfully restoring macrophage levels to normal.

Here, utilizing histology the levels of FAP are higher in the aortic wall of patients with AA compared to healthy controls. In three distinct animal models of AA, a progressive increase in FAP expression, coincides with the advancement of ECM remodeling. Notably, the levels of 68 Ga-FAPI-04 uptake in a rabbit model of abdominal AA (AAA) is positively correlated with aortic dilation ( r = 0.84, p < 0.01), and the histological examination further confirmed that regions of high 68 Ga-FAPI-04 uptake exhibited both increased FAP expression and more severe pathological changes.

  @article{ , abstract = {Seawater electrolysis holds great promise for sustainable, green hydrogen production but faces challenges of high overpotentials and competing chlorine evolution reaction (CER). Replacing the oxygen evolution reaction with the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) presents a compelling alternative due to its lower anodic potential which mitigates the risk of CER. While NiOOH is known for its MOR activity, its performance is limited by sluggish non-electrochemical kinetics and Cl-induced degradation. Herein, a MoO 4 2− -modified NiOOH electrocatalyst is reported that significantly enhances MOR-assisted seawater splitting efficiency. In situ leached MoO 4 2− from the heterojunction optimizes methanol adsorption and facilitates proton migration, thereby accelerating the non-electrochemical steps in MOR.

This study aimed to explore the molecular basis of PM 2.5 -induced lung cancer from an epigenetic perspective and identify potential biomarkers.

  @article{ , abstract = {Encapsulating few-layer graphene (FLG) in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) can cause nanoscale inhomogeneities in the FLG, including changes in stacking domains and topographic defects. Due to the diffraction limit, characterizing these inhomogeneities is challenging. Recently, the visualization of stacking domains in encapsulated four-layer graphene (4LG) has been demonstrated with phonon polariton (PhP)-assisted near-field imaging. However, the underlying coupling mechanism and ability to image subdiffractional-sized inhomogeneities remain unknown. Here, direct replicas and magnified images of subdiffractional-sized inhomogeneities in hBN-covered trilayer graphene (TLG) and encapsulated 4LG, enabled by the hyperlensing effect, are retrieved. This hyperlensing effect is mediated by hBN's hyperbolic PhP that couple to the FLG's plasmon polaritons. Using near-field microscopy, the coupling is identified by determining the polariton dispersion in hBN-covered TLG to be stacking-dependent. This work demonstrates super-resolution and magnified imaging of inhomogeneities, paving the way for the realization of homogeneous encapsulated FLG transport samples to study correlated physics.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Lina Jäckering and Konstantin G.

  @article{ , abstract = {Metal–metal bonding has played a pivotal role in advancing human technologies across various industrial sectors. As devices continue to miniaturize, there is an increasing need for efficient bonding techniques capable of achieving metal–metal bonds at smaller length scales. In this study, a facile but effective bonding technique is developed that enables the bonding of randomly oriented copper with copper nanomembranes under low temperatures and pressures. The fabricated copper nanomembranes, with a thickness of ≈50 nm and a width of 1 cm or above, exhibit a unique heterogeneous nanostructure, comprising copper nanocrystals along with nano-copper-oxide dispersions. Consequently, these copper nanomembranes display exceptional mechanical properties, including an ultra-low elastic modulus of ≈35 GPa, a remarkable yield strength of ≈1 GPa, and excellent ductility of ≈40%, overcoming the conventional strength-ductility trade-off observed in various copper alloys. Most importantly, these ultra-soft copper nanomembranes serve as metallic “glues”, promoting grain growth across the bonding interface between randomly oriented copper surfaces. This process leads to an average interfacial shear strength of up to 73 MPa at room temperature, representing an approximate 35 times increase in bonding strength compared to direct copper–copper bonding achieved under identical temperature and pressure conditions.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yun Teng and Wenqing Zhu and Qing Wang and Zhibo Zhang and Hang Wang and Baisong Guo and Ziyin Yang and Hao Gong and Chuan He and Boxi Qu and Shien-Ping Feng and Yong Yang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202408302}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {14}, pages = {2408302}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Pericytes are a key player in vascularization, protecting endothelial cells from external harm and promoting the formation of new vessels when necessary. However, pericytic identity and its relationship with other cell types, such as mesenchymal stromal/stem cells, is highly debated. This study compares the role of pericytes and unselected stromal cells in vascularization using multichannel microfluidic chips. In both angiogenesis and vasculogenesis, pericytes promote more vessel formation than stromal cells. Pericytes can wrap around endothelial vessels acting as mural cells, while stromal cells remain separated. Whole-transcriptome sequencing confirms an upregulation of pro-vascularization genes in endothelial cell-pericyte co-cultures, while metabolism increases and inflammation decreases in stromal cell co-cultures. Treatment of stromal-endothelial cell co-cultures with either conditioned media or isolated extracellular vesicles from pericytes replicates the increase in vasculogenesis of the direct co-cultures. Cytokine quantification reveals that interleukin 6 (IL-6) is significantly increased in pericyte conditions. Blocking it with siltuximab results in a reduction of pericyte vasculogenic potential comparable to stromal cell levels, revealing that pericyte pro-vascularization is mediated by IL-6. This study provides new insights into the relationship between pericytes and endothelial cells and the elusive identity of mesenchymal stromal cells.

In this work, an air ambient fabrication of pure α-phase FAPbI 3 PSCs with high-efficiency and stability, utilizing a dual-functional engineering strategy assisted by 3-Guanidinopropionicacid (3-GuA) is reported. 3-GuA assists in managing excess PbI 2 and promotes the formation of high-quality FAPbI 3 films via intermolecular exchange. Simultaneously, the existence of 3-GuA minimizes the defects and stabilizes the resulting perovskite films. As a result, the ambient-air fabricated PSCs achieve a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 24.2% with negligible hysteresis and excellent stability.

  @article{ , abstract = {The previous work discovers the potential of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to alleviate obesity-related metabolic diseases, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, AMP is confirmed to enhance white fat decomposition and improve abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism in mice fed with a high-fat (HF) diet. Mechanically, AMP is converted to adenosine (ADO) through ecto-5′-nucleotidase (CD73), and adenosine A2A receptor (ADORA2A) signaling activation is involved in the down-regulation of methylation in white adipose tissue, thereby reducing the hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) methylation level and promoting HSL transcription and white fat decomposition. Moreover, the metabolic benefits of AMP are found to be partially eliminated in ADORA2A knockout mice, but re-expression of ADORA2A can reproduce the AMP-induced metabolic regulation in white fat.

The CBP plants are correctly assembled by detection at the gene level, transcription level, protein level, and enzyme activity. Malate, CAM metabolism product, accumulated significantly at night in CBP plants. Metabolic analysis revealed that the malate is directed to the citric acid cycle and impacted carbon sequestration.

Despite its promise, the active ingredients and mechanisms underlying its anticancer effects remain unclear. Using integrative pharmacological approaches, six compounds are identified as the primary active ingredients in Huangqin Houpo decoction.

However, it remains challenging to develop photosensitizers (PSs) that simultaneously integrate high-contrast photoacoustic imaging and efficient therapeutic capabilities. In this work, a supramolecular strategy is employed to construct a molecular pair phototheranostic agent via the direct self-assembly of two cyanines, C5TNa (anionic) and Cy-Et (cationic). The Coulombic interactions between C5TNa and Cy-Et facilitate the formation of a complementary cyanine pair (C5T-ET) and the creation of supramolecular CT-J-type aggregates in water. This complementary cyanine pair (C5T-ET) results in completely quenched fluorescence and significantly enhances nonradiative deactivation (≈22 ps), leading to a 3.3-fold increase in photothermal conversion efficiency and a 7.1-fold enhancement in photoacoustic response compared to indocyanine green (ICG). As a result, the J-type aggregate cyanine pair (C5T-ET) demonstrates high photoacoustic imaging capability and remarkable antitumor phototheranostic efficacy in vivo, highlighting its potential for clinical applications. This work provides strong experimental evidence for the superior performance of the complementary cyanine pair (C5T-ET) in enhancing photosensitization and photoacoustic response. It is believed that this strategy will propel the advancement of controllable dye J-aggregates and contribute to the practical implementation of photoacoustic imaging and phototherapy in vivo.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Haiqiao Huang and Yingnan Wu and Xin He and Yahang Liu and Jing-Hui Zhu and Mingrui Gu and Danhong Zhou and Saran Long and Yahui Chen and Lei Wang and Mingle Li and Xiaoqiang Chen and Xiaojun Peng}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202416905}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {4}, number = {13}, pages = {2416905}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy represents a promising strategy for cancer treatment. However, the diversity of solid tumor antigens and the poor infiltration of CAR-T cells significantly hinder the efficacy of CAR-T therapies against tumors. Here, a spatially distributed microneedle system (SDMNS) is developed that leverages bioorthogonal reactions to activate and guide endogenous T cells to tumors for effective destruction. The SDMNS consists of two dissolving microneedles, each loaded with complementary bioorthogonal groups and applied separately to lymph nodes and tumor sites. One microneedle loaded with two dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO)-modified antibodies activates T cells and labels them with bioorthogonal groups in lymph nodes. The other microneedle, containing N-azidoacetylmannosamine-tetraacylated (Ac4ManNAz) for glycometabolic labeling of tumor cells, and the T cell chemotactic factor IP10, is applied directly to the tumor site. The in vivo studies demonstrate that SDMNS effectively directs the migration and infiltration of endogenous activated T cells into the tumors.

Specifically, if excited at two distinct frequencies f 1 and f 2 , MNP responds with magnetic intermodulation frequencies m · f 1 ± n · f 2 caused by their nonlinear magnetization. These mixing frequencies are highly specific for MNP properties, uniquely characterizing their presence. In this review, the fundamentals of frequency mixing magnetic detection (FMMD) as a special case of magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS) are reviewed, elaborating its functional principle that enables a large dynamic range of detection of MNP. Mathematical descriptions derived from Langevin modeling and micromagnetic Monte-Carlo simulations show matching predictions. The latest applications of FMMD in nanomaterials characterization as well as diagnostic and therapeutic biomedicine are highlighted: analysis of the phase of the FMMD signal characterizes the magnetic relaxation of MNP, allowing to determine hydrodynamic size and binding state. Variation of excitation amplitudes or magnetic offset fields enables determining the size distribution of the particles’ magnetic cores. This permits multiplex detection of polydisperse MNP in magnetic immunoassays, realized successfully for various biomolecular targets such as viruses, bacteria, proteins, and toxins.

The resulting microgel-polymer complexes form an asymmetric interfacial bilayer with high surface coverage, which effectively minimizes interfacial energy and improves interfacial elasticity. Through a combination of systematic interfacial measurements and molecular dynamics simulations, the underlying mechanisms governing interfacial self-assembly are elucidated. Notably, the stimuli-responsive nature of the microgel-polymer complexes allows for precise control over the interfacial assembly and disassembly by introducing competitive molecules.

Functional analyses revealed that HCETSR inhibits HCC malignancy and serves as an independent predictor of poor prognosis. Mechanistically, a novel SPTBN1/catenin complex axis regulated by HCETSR is identified. HCETSR binds to a critical domain of SPTBN1, disrupting its interaction with the catenin complex (comprising β-catenin, α-catenin, and P120-catenin), and facilitates the transfer of the catenin complex from the cell membrane to the nucleus. Specifically, HCETSR decreases the proteasomal degradation of β-catenin and inhibits the synthesis of nascent β-catenin. Furthermore, HCETSR suppresses the transcriptional activity of LEF1 through P120-catenin rather than α-catenin, thereby reducing β-catenin's influence on LEF1 activity. It is demonstrated that HCETSR is spliced from tRNA-Glu/TTC. The biogenesis of HCETSR and tRNA-Glu/TTC is regulated by the spliceosome and Dicer1.

Thirty-six BC-PDOs are generated from 56 patients and demonstrated that the BC-PDOs can replicate the histological and genomic features of parental tumors. Drug screening tests are conducted with a broad spectrum of conventional chemotherapeutic and targeted therapy drugs and identified differential drug sensitivities among the BC-PDOs. These in vitro results are consistently supported by the PDO xenograft animal studies and patients’ clinical treatment outcomes, thereby verifying the predictive power of PDOs for drug responses in BC patients. By analyzing the genetic profiles of the PDOs, specific driver genes that correlate with drug sensitivity to two stand-of-care chemotherapeutics, cisplatin, and gemcitabine, are identified. Additionally, the practicality of PDOs in investigating the tumor microenvironment has been demonstrated. This study underscores the utility of PDOs in advancing the understanding of bladder cancer and the development of personalized therapeutic strategies. The BC-PDOs biobank provides an ideal preclinical platform for supporting the development of personalized treatment strategies for BC patients.

  @article{ , abstract = {Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication of diabetes. Although studies have previously investigated metabolic disruptions in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the exact metabolic mechanisms underlying DPN remain largely unknown. Herein, a specific form of metabolic remodeling involving aberrant ketogenesis within Schwann cells (SCs) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type I diabetes mellitus is identified. The PNS adapts poorly to such aberrant ketogenesis, resulting in disrupted energy metabolism, mitochondrial damage, and homeostatic decompensation, ultimately contributing to DPN. Additionally, the maladaptive peripheral ketogenesis is highly dependent on the cannabinoid type-1 receptor (CB 1 R)-Hmgcs2 axis. Silencing CB 1 R reprogrammed the metabolism of SCs by blocking maladaptive ketogenesis, resulting in rebalanced energy metabolism, reduced histopathological changes, and improved neuropathic symptoms. Moreover, this metabolic reprogramming can be induced pharmacologically using JD5037, a peripheral CB 1 R blocker.

  @article{ , abstract = {Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint degenerative diseases without effective treatment, whose pathology is related to the local accumulation of senescent cells (SnCs). However, existing SnCs-scavenging drugs “senolytics” may lead to the exhaustion of stem and progenitor cells, impairing chondrocyte proliferation and cartilage regeneration. Here, ADAM19, a kind of endopeptidases from the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) family, is identified as a novel target for senescent chondrocyte rejuvenation. ADAM19 is elevated in senescent chondrocytes in both mice and human osteoarthritic joints, as well as in cellular senescence model in vitro. ADAM19 knockdown not only significantly attenuated senescent phenotype of chondrocytes, but also promoted cell proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis. RNA sequencing revealed ADAM19 may regulate chondrocyte senescence mainly through the PI3K/AKT signal axis. In addition, a senescence-targeting small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery system is developed for in vivo delivery of therapeutic siRNA. The complex selectively released ADAM19 siRNA in SnCs and performed high silencing effect on target gene. Furthermore, intra-articular (IA) injection of the complex once every two weeks in OA mice effectively reduced SnCs accumulation and promoted hyaline cartilage regeneration.

GhLPF1 is subjected as a downstream target of miR828 during fiber development. The direct downstream genes (DDGs) of GhLPF1 are biased to increased expression in GhLPF1-CR , and are preferentially expressed in OI, so that GhLPF1 is primarily a transcriptional repressor to its DDGs.

Notably, the overexpression of TRIM56 in adipocytes is shown to help mice maintain a core temperature under cold conditions, as well as confer protection against diet-induced obesity. Mechanistically, TRIM56 facilitates the degradation of the transducin-like enhancer protein 3 (TLE3) protein by promoting its K48-linked ubiquitination, which subsequently triggers the activation of thermogenic genes in subcutaneousl white adipose tissue and improved the metabolic profiles.

  @article{ , abstract = {Lumbar instability causes cartilage endplate ossification and intervertebral disc degeneration. In this study, it is determined that circSMAD4, a Yap1-related circRNA, is stably downregulated under abnormal stress. In vitro, circSMAD4 knockdown resulted in Yap1 mRNA degradation, whereas circSMAD4 overexpression increased Yap1 mRNA expression and nuclear translocation. Hence, the stabilization of circSMAD4 is essential for maintaining the homeostasis of endplate cartilage under abnormal stress. Furthermore, transcriptome sequencing and mass spectrometry analysis revealed that METTL14-mediated N 6 -methyladenosine (m 6 A) modification can stabilize circSMAD4 expression. Moreover, circSMAD4 is shown to regulate Yap1 mRNA through the m6A reader IGF2BP1. The IGF2BP1 functions to translocate Yap1 mRNA into the nucleus, which protects endplate chondrocytes from degeneration. Finally, local injection of an AAV5-containing circSMAD4 overexpression plasmid successfully rescued LSI-induced cartilage endplate degeneration, which wasn't observed in Yap1 knockout mice. These findings suggest that m6A-modified circSMAD4 can stabilize Yap1 mRNA expression and translocation, thus preventing degeneration of the cartilage endplate under abnormal stress.

  @article{ , abstract = {Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a primary contributor to hospitalization and in-hospital mortality worldwide. Targeted elimination of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) within pancreatic acinar cells (PACs) represents an ideal strategy for treating AP. However, existing drugs fail to overcome the physiological barriers of the pancreas to effectively reach PACs mitochondria due to the trade-off between conventional positively charged mitochondrial-targeting groups and their inability to penetrate the blood-pancreas barrier (BPB). Here, a tungsten-based heteropolyacid nano-antioxidant (mTWNDs) is introduced, co-modified with tannic acid (TA) and melanin, enabling site-specific clearance of mtROS in PACs, offering a highly effective treatment for AP. TA exhibits a strong affinity for proline-rich type III collagen and the mitochondrial outer membrane protein TOM20. This unique property allows mTWNDs to traverse the damaged BPB-exposing type III collagen to reach PACs and subsequently penetrate mitochondria for targeted mtROS elimination. In cerulein-induced AP mice, mTWNDs reversed AP at 1/50th the dose of N-acetylcysteine, suppressing PACs apoptosis and inflammation by blocking the stimulator of the interferon genes pathway activation in macrophage.

Three samples with different frameworks but comparable Cu loadings and Si/Al ratios have been prepared to assess the influence of topology on material oxidizability and the nature of the generated Cu(II) species. Complementary spectroscopic studies highlight that isomeric Cu(II) centers hosted within different topologies are characterized by distinct formation rates. In turn, the framework-specific kinetics of Cu(II) site generation regulate the overall oxidation potential of the individual zeolites. Apart from the topology, the formation rate of different Cu(II) species is governed by their specific structure, with dimeric Cu(II) centers ([Cu 2 (µ-O)] 2+ ) being generated faster than monomeric ([CuOH] + , Cu 2+ ) ones. Elevated temperatures accelerate the evolution of Cu(II) monomers but cause [Cu 2 (µ-O)] 2+ to undergo autoreduction. The reversibility of this process is framework-dependent. Consequently, even though two types of [Cu 2 (µ-O)] 2+ form at low temperatures in each material, only specific ones remain after high-temperature treatment. The autoreduction of [Cu 2 (µ-O)] 2+ is accompanied by its transient reduction by hydrocarbon residues, originating from the preceding treatment in CH 4 .

Herein, sorafenib-induced TRIB3 is identified as a liver-specific determinant driving secondary resistance to sorafenib by facilitating the accumulation of protumorigenic neutrophils within tumors. Mechanistically, TRIB3, triggered by the sorafenib-elicited ROS-ER stress axis, operates in an NF-κB-dependent manner to upregulate CXCR1/2 ligands, subsequently promoting neutrophil recruitment into tumors. These enriched neutrophils enhance epithelial-mesenchymal transition processes in malignant cells through the oncostatin M-STAT3 pathway, thereby repurposing the therapeutic efficacy of sorafenib away from anti-angiogenesis and toward lung metastasis. Clinically, elevated TRIB3 expression indicates inferior survival and unfavorable clinical efficacy of sorafenib in HCC patients. Correspondingly, strategies that either inhibiting TRIB3 upregulation or blocking its downstream signaling successfully augment the therapeutic efficacy of sorafenib and prevent sorafenib-induced hyperprogression in vivo.

Furthermore, the SM M3 F crude extract depolymerizes 5 g L −1 bis-(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalic acid (BHET) into TPA completely at 37 °C within 10 h, which is then directedly converted into value-added protocatechuic acid (PCA) (997.16 mg L −1 ) and gallic acid (GA) (411.69 mg L −1 ) at 30 °C, establishing an eco-friendly ‘PET-BHET-MHET-TPA-PCA-GA’ upcycling route.

This study presents the development and optimization of a microbial system to produce 1,5-PDO from glucose in Corynebacterium glutamicum via the l -lysine-derived pathway. Engineering began with creating a strain capable of producing 5-hydroxyvaleric acid (5-HV), a key precursor to 1,5-PDO, by incorporating enzymes from Pseudomonas putida (DavB, DavA, and DavT) and Escherichia coli ( YahK). Two conversion pathways for further converting 5-HV to 1,5-PDO are evaluated, with the CoA-independent pathway—utilizing Mycobacterium marinum carboxylic acid reductase (CAR) and E. coli YqhD—proving greater efficiency. Further optimization continues with chromosomal integration of the 5-HV module, increasing 1,5-PDO production to 5.48 g L −1 . An additional screening of 13 CARs identifies Mycobacterium avium K-10 (MAP1040) as the most effective, and its engineered M296E mutant further increases production to 23.5 g L −1 .

MUTYH deficiency aggravates renal dysfunction and tubular injury following cisplatin and FA treatment, along with the accumulation of 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) and impairs mitochondrial function.

Mechanistically, eRNA-QTLs frequently altered binding motifs of transcription factors. In addition, 28.48% of cancer risk variants are strongly colocalized with eRNA-QTLs. A pan-cancer eRNA-based transcriptome-wide association study is conducted across 23 major cancer types, identifying 626 significant cancer susceptibility eRNAs predicted to modulate cancer risk via eRNA, from which 54.90% of the eRNA target genes are overlooked by traditional gene expression studies, and most are essential for cancer cell proliferation. As proof of principle validation, the enhancer functionality of two newly identified susceptibility eRNAs, CCND1e and SNAPC1e , is confirmed through CRISPR inhibition and shRNA-mediated knockdown, resulting in a marked decrease in the expression of their respective target genes, consequently suppressing the proliferation of prostate cancer cells.

It is puzzling how such a small cellular debris has abundant energy supply. In this study, it is shown that insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP), a type II transmembrane protein, is a key regulator for platelet activation by promoting energy regeneration during septic thrombosis. Through interaction with certain endosome membrane proteins, IRAP can not only promote granule release, but also facilitate lysosomal degradation of theoretically discarded ribosomes in an mTORC1- and S-acylation-dependent manner in activated platelets. Plentiful amino acids obtained from IRAP-mediated ribophagy are recruited to aerobic glycolysis and then promote energy metabolism reprogramming, thereby producing abundant energy for platelet life extension and prolonged activation.

Here it is reported that POU-domain containing family protein POU3F3 is translocated into the nuclei of NSCLC cell lines harboring mutant RAS, where it activates transcription of ATP5PF, an essential component of mitochondrial ATP synthase and consequent ATP production, leading to enhanced NSCLC proliferation and migration. Moreover, it is further found out that ERK1 phosphorylates POU3F3 at the S393 site in the cytoplasm and promotes the nuclear translocation of POU3F3 via receptor importin β1 in RAS mutant NSCLC cells.

Numerical simulations are utilized to analyze fluid configurations during step emulsification, identifying a key connection tube that determines droplet size. By training and verifying with the experimental and simulation datasets, a comprehensive theoretical model is established that allows for the preliminary design of the droplet size and generation frequency with an average error rate of 4.8%, successfully filling a critical gap in existing field.

  @article{ , abstract = {The decrease in fibroblast collagen is a primary contributor to skin aging. Lactate can participate in collagen synthesis through lysine lactylation by regulating gene transcription. However, the precise mechanism by which lactate influences collagen synthesis requires further investigation. This study demonstrates that the depletion of macrophages mitigates the stimulating effect of lactate on collagen synthesis in fibroblasts. Through joint CUT&Tag and RNA-sequencing analyses, a feedback loop between H4K12 lactylation (H4K12la) and histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) in macrophages that drives lactate-induced collagen synthesis are identified. Macrophages can uptake extracellular lactate via monocarboxylate transporter-1 (MCT1), leading to an up-regulation of H4K12la levels through a KAT5-KAT8-dependent mechanism in response to Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) stimulation, a source of low concentration and persistent lactate, thereby promoting collagen synthesis in fibroblasts. Furthermore, H4K12la is enriched at the promoters of TGF-β1 and TGF-β3, enhancing their transcription. Hyperlactylation of H4K12la inhibits the expression of the eraser HDAC3, while the activation of HDAC3 reduces H4K12la in macrophages and suppresses collagen synthesis in fibroblasts.

Due to the relatively weak DNA repair capacity of mitochondria, targeting mitochondria may reverse chemoresistance and provide a paradigm for metastatic cancer treatment.

Elevated NUDT13 expression impedes the proliferation of CRC cells under hypoxic conditions and markedly inhibits CRC initiation by upregulating PKM1. Mechanistically, NUDT13 directly binds and stabilizes PKM1 protein by reducing its poly ADP-ribosylation (PARylation), which is catalyzed by PARP1 at E275/D281/E282/E285/D296, thereby inducing an oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) phenotype in CRC cells. Moreover, spatiotemporal knockout of Nudt13 enhances intestinal tumorigenesis in mice, which can be significantly suppressed by PARP1 inhibitor Olaparib. Notably, residues E245/E248/E249 within the Nudix box motif of NUDT13 are essential for PKM1 PARylation, and a mimic peptide derived from this motif is sufficient to stabilize PKM1 protein and robustly inhibit CRC tumorigenesis.

  @article{ , abstract = {Renal fibrosis is a common pathway involved in the progression of various chronic kidney diseases to end-stage renal disease. Recent studies show that mitochondrial injury of renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) is a crucial pathological foundation for renal fibrosis. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is a catalytic enzyme located within the mitochondria that is intricately linked with mitochondrial damage and metabolism. In the present study, the downregulation of PC in various fibrotic animal and human kidney samples is demonstrated. Renal proximal tubule–specific Pcx gene knockout mice ( Pcx cKO ) has significant interstitial fibrosis compared to control mice, with heightened expression of extracellular matrix molecules. This is further demonstrated in a stable PC knock-out RTEC line. Mechanistically, PC deficiency reduces its interaction with sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQOR), increasing the ubiquitination and degradation of SQOR. This leads to mitochondrial morphological and functional disruption, increased mtDNA release, activation of the cGAS-STING pathway, and elevated glycolysis levels, and ultimately, promotes renal fibrosis. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms through which PC deficiency induces mitochondrial injury and metabolic reprogramming in RTECs.

This analysis reveals transcriptomically distinct populations of cerebral myeloid cells and brain-resident immune cells after stroke. These include a novel CD14 + neutrophil subpopulation that transcriptomically resembles CBM neutrophils. Moreover, the sequential activation of transcription factor regulatory networks in neutrophils during stroke progression is delineated, many of which are unique to the CD14 + population and underlie their acquisition of chemotaxis and granule release capacities.

From a developmental perspective, it is shown that PCa and BC activate genes and pathways similar to those in the developmental stage. During prostate development, the differential expression and function of the androgen receptor (AR) across cell types may contribute to its dual role in promoting and inhibiting immunity in different cells. Androgen deprivation therapy affects AR function in different cells within the TME, influencing immune cell infiltration and antitumor function.

These findings are considered important for both molecular diagnostics and gene editing. A careful review of the article, however, raises questions that merit further discussion. After comprehensively reviewing the cleavage mechanism and structure of TtAgo-gDNA-target ternary complexes, and thoroughly analyzing our results, it is believed that the increased Tm and binding affinity of 2′F-gDNA are not the primary factors that enhance cleavage activity, it is speculated that the 2′F modification at gDNA 3′-end likely influences the propagation step.

Here, it is shown that the anterior piriform cortex (APC) exhibited an increase in gamma event incidence during social engagement in male mice. In vivo electrophysiology and fiber photometry reveal that APC pyramidal neurons respond more intensely to novel mice than familiar ones. Intriguingly, silencing APC neurons selectively impairs social novelty processing, yet leaves the basic olfactory discrimination capabilities intact.

However, prolonged interaction between T cells and tumors and the presence of immunosuppressive factors can diminish T-cell cytotoxicity, leading to treatment failure. Here, ribonuclease 1 (RNase1), which degrades RNA, reduced the expression of effector cytokines and increases immune checkpoint protein levels, inducing T-cell dysfunction. RNase1 expression is positively associated with exhausted T-cell gene signatures and immune checkpoint proteins across several cancer types. Cancer cells expressing RNase1 are resistant to CD8 + T-cell-mediated killing. RNase1 promotes tumor growth in immunocompetent, but not in immunodeficient, mouse models and inhibits CD8 + T-cell activity in vivo. Mechanistically, RNase1 enters T cells and deactivates signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), causing T-cell dysfunction.

Notably, a study has found RNase1 might activate CD4 + T cells to inhibit breast cancer growth, while another has indicated it causes immunosuppression in liver cancer.

Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) are utilized to evaluate PJA2 expression levels in CRC tissues. The biological functions of PJA2 are confirmed through colony formation assays and azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium (AOM/DSS) mouse model of CRC, among other experimental approaches. The underlying molecular mechanisms of PJA2 action are elucidated using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP), proximity ligation assay (PLA), and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Our research discovered that PJA2 is downregulated in CRC tissues and decreased PJA2 expression correlates with poor prognosis.

  @article{ , abstract = {Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) represents a promising approach for cancer treatment. Compared to photodynamic therapy, SDT offers increased penetration depth and higher precision. However, the practical application of SDT is constrained by the low water solubility, poor tumor specificity, and metabolic susceptibility of most sonosensitizers. Recent research has explored the use of piezoelectric materials as sonosensitizers in cancer treatment and inhibition of bacterial growth. Upon ultrasound excitation, the separation of electron–hole (e − –h + ) pairs occurs within the piezoelectric material. By improving the crystal structure of the material or incorporating other nanoparticles to prevent rapid recombination of e − –h + pairs, the piezoelectric material accumulates charges in the conduction band and valence band, achieving the redox potential of O 2 /·O 2 − . This enables the piezoelectric material to serve as a sonosensitizer, leading to the concept termed Sono-Piezo Dynamic Therapy (SPDT). This review aims to define the concept of SPDT, provide a systematic overview of the historical development of piezoelectric materials in the application of SDT, and elucidate the potential mechanisms by which piezoelectric materials act as sonosensitizers.

Emerging evidence suggests that enhancing body's resistance to xenobiotics might be an anti-aging strategy.

However, the impact of activating CAR on aging remains unknown. In this study, Caenorhabditis elegans ( C. elegans ), drug-induced premature aging mice, and senescence accelerated P8 (SAMP8) mice are used as models to explore the effects of CAR activation on lifespan and healthspan, along with the underlying mechanisms. The results showed that hCAR agonist CITCO and mCAR agonist TCPOBOP prolonged the lifespan and healthspan in model organism. The longevity effects of CITCO and TCPOBOP were attenuated in CAR homozygous nhr-8/daf-12 mutant C. elegans as well as CAR −/− mice. In C. elegans , CITCO activated both anti-stress and detoxification genes, and increased the resistance to environmental adversities. Additionally, the lifespan-extending and xenobiotic resistant effects of CITCO might be related to the regulation of age-related pathways.

Using these sensor zebrafish, starvation, and natural aging-induced muscle atrophy models are established. The data showed that the diameters of muscle cells decreased in both models; however, muscle cell apoptosis is not found in the process of muscle atrophy. In starvation-induced muscle atrophy, it also showed that the number of nuclei in muscle cells remained constant, and there is no increase in the number of macrophages in muscle tissues, both of which further confirmed that muscle cells do not die. In both models, transcriptional analysis showed that the apoptosis pathway is down-regulated, and autophagy and protein degradation pathways are up-regulated.

  @article{ , abstract = {Cancer cells cope with oxidative stress for their proliferation and metastasis by equipping antioxidant systems, among which the antioxidant enzymes peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) play crucial roles. However, whether PRDXs exhibit nonenzymatic functions remains unclear. Here, it is shown that the 1-cysteine PRDX (PRDX6) upregulates nicotinamide N -methyltransferase (NNMT) to promote the growth and metastasis of ovarian cancer cells, independently of PRDX6's enzymatic activities. Mechanistically, PRDX6 interacts with NNMT to prevent its binding to the E3 ubiquitin ligase tripartite-motif protein 56 (TRIM56), leading to the inhibition of NNMT ubiquitination at lysine 23 and 210 and suppression of subsequent proteasomal degradation. In addition, PRDX6-mediated NNMT upregulation activates mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling, thereby promoting the growth and metastasis of ovarian cancer cells. Notably, PRDX6 overexpression is associated with higher NNMT protein levels in human ovarian cancer tissues and is predictive of poor prognosis of ovarian cancer patients.

  @article{ , abstract = {Gene duplication has allowed protein evolution toward novel functions and mechanisms. The differences between paralogous genes frequently rely on the sequence of disordered regions. For instance, in mammals, the chaperones ANP32A and ANP32B share a common evolutionary line and have some exchangeable functions based on their similar N-terminal domains. Nevertheless, their C-terminal low-complexity-acidic-regions (LCARs) display substantial sequence differences, unveiling some degree of variability between them, in agreement with their different tissue-specific expression patterns. These structural and computational results indicate that a substitution in the vicinity of the nuclear localization signal (NLS), of Pro in ANP32A for Thr in ANP32B, determines the overall compactness of the C-terminal LCAR. The different structural properties of the disordered region affect the binding mode of ANP32 members to their targets.

  @article{ , abstract = {Intestinal homeostasis is sustained by self-renewal of intestinal stem cells, which continuously divide and produce proliferative transit-amplifying (TA) and progenitor cells. Protein arginine methyltransferases 5 (PRMT5) plays a crucial role in regulating homeostasis of various mammalian tissues. However, its function in intestinal homeostasis remains elusive. In this study, conditional knockout of Prmt5 in the mouse intestinal epithelium leads to a reduction in stem cell population, suppression of cell proliferation, and increased cell apoptosis within the intestinal crypts, accompanied with shortened gut length, decreased mouse body weight, and eventual animal mortality. Additionally, Prmt5 deletion or its enzymatic inhibition in intestinal organoids in vitro also shows resembling cellular phenotypes. Methylome profiling identifies 90 potential Prmt5 substrates, which are involved in RNA-related biological processes and cell division. Consistently, Prmt5 depletion in intestinal organoids leads to aberrant alternative splicing in a subset of genes related to the mitotic cell cycle. Furthermore, Prmt5 loss triggers p53-mediated apoptosis in the intestinal epithelium. Collectively, the findings uncover an indispensable role of PRMT5 in promoting cell proliferation and survival, as well as maintaining stem cells in the gut epithelium.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Leilei Li and Zhe Zhang and Xu Wang and Haiyong Zhao and Liansheng Liu and Yanhui Xiao and Shan Hua and Ye-Guang Chen}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202415559}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {12}, pages = {2415559}, shortjournal = {Adv.

The controlled removal of NT ligands upon UV irradiation enhances light absorption by reducing the filling factor of voids in the printed layer, increasing the layer temperature, and facilitating further ligand desorption.

  @article{ , abstract = {Mitochondrial transfer emerges as a promising therapy for the restoration of mitochondrial function in damaged cells, mainly due to its limited immunogenicity. However, isolated mitochondria rapidly lose function because they produce little energy outside cells. Therefore, this study investigates whether near infrared (NIR)-mediated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) pre-treatment enhances mitochondrial function and stability in mitochondria-donor cells prior to transplantation. Clinical applications of NADH, an essential electron donor in the oxidative phosphorylation process, are restricted due to the limited cellular uptake of NADH. To address this, a photo-mediated method optimizes direct NADH delivery into cells and increases NADH absorption. L6 cells treated with NADH and irradiated with NIR enhanced NADH uptake, significantly improving mitochondrial energy production and function. Importantly, the improved functional characteristics of the mitochondria are maintained even after isolation from cells. Primed mitochondria, i.e., those enhanced by NIR-mediated NADH uptake (P-MT), are encapsulated in fusogenic liposomes and delivered into muscle cells with mitochondrial dysfunction. Compared to conventional mitochondria, P-MT mitochondria promote greater mitochondrial recovery and muscle regeneration. These findings suggest that NIR-mediated NADH delivery is an effective strategy for improving mitochondrial function, and has the potential to lead to novel treatments for mitochondrial disorders and muscle degeneration.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Hui Bang Cho and Hye-Ryoung Kim and Sujeong Lee and Chae Won Cho and Ji-In Park and Seulki Youn and Gyuwon So and Sumin Kang and Hye Jin Kim and Keun-Hong Park}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202415303}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {12}, pages = {2415303}, shortjournal = {Adv.

More importantly, it is found that the activity of CaMKIIα+ neurons in TeA can gate sound-evoked arousal from NREM sleep, which is further confirmed by optogenetic manipulations. Further investigation reveals that the baseline excitability of TeA CaMKIIα+ neurons and the delta oscillations in the electroencephalogram are particularly important in regulating the evoked activity of TeA neurons.

However, because of its complexity, this catalyst remains a topic of some debate. Here, a method is reported of precisely controlling the ratios of Ru 1 to Ru NC on a nitrogenated carbon (NC)-based porous organic framework to produce Ru/NC catalysts, by using different amounts (0, 5, 10 wt.%) of reducing agent. The Ru/NC–10 catalyst, formed with 10 wt.% reducing agent, delivered the best performance under alkaline conditions, indicating that Ru NC played a significant role in actual alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). An anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer (AEMWE) system using the Ru/NC–10 catalyst required a significantly lower operating voltage (1.72 V) than the commercial Pt/C catalyst (1.95 V) to achieve 500 mA cm −2 . Moreover, the system can be operated at 100 mA cm −2 without notable performance decay for over 180 h. Theoretical calculations supported these experimental findings that Ru 1 contributed to the water dissociation process, while Ru NC is more actively associated with the hydrogen recombination process.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jae-Hoon Baek and Seong Hyeon Kweon and Hyuk-Jun Noh and Do Hyung Kweon and Jeong-Min Seo and Se Jung Lee and Sang Kyu Kwak and Jong-Beom Baek}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202414012}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {12}, pages = {2414012}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {The incidence of kidney stones is increasing worldwide. However, the underlying mechanism of the process of kidney stone formation and the kidney damage caused are not well understood. Here, it is observed that Lgals3, a β-galactoside-binding protein, is significantly increased in tissues with calcium oxalate (CaOx) stones, and in both in vivo and in vitro models. Lgals3 expression is positively correlated with the deposition of CaOx crystals. Knockout of Lgals3 markedly reduces the deposition of CaOx crystal and renal fibrosis in vivo. Furthermore, Lgals3 deficiency decrease the glycolytic rate and lactate production during the process of CaOx deposition and inhibited histone lactylation of H3K18la. Mechanistic studies shows that Lgals3 directly interacted with the key glycolysis protein pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and promoted its expression by modulating E3 ligase Trim21, preventing the ubiquitination of PKM2. Furthermore, H3K18 lactylation promoted CaOx crystal deposition and kidney injury in vivo and in vitro. Lgals3 deficiency inhibites the transcription, activation, and expression of FGFR4 through inhibition of H3K18la. These findings suggest that Lgals3 may play a key role in CaOx stone formation and kidney injury by interacting with PKM2 and promoting both H3K18la-mediated gene transcription and activation.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Zehua Ye and Yushi Sun and Songyuan Yang and Lei Li and Bojun Li and Yuqi Xia and Tianhui Yuan and Weimin Yu and Lijia Chen and Xiangjun Zhou and Fan Cheng}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202413937}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {12}, pages = {2413937}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Defect engineering offers a potential solution but often encounters difficulties maintaining structural integrity, mechanical stability, and electrical conductivity.

In this work, a customized electrolyte is developed to coordinate ion desolvation and interphase formation by introducing vinylene carbonate (VC), triphenylboroxin (TPBX), and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) but excluding ethylene carbonate (EC). Serving Ni-rich cathodes, the customized electrolyte generates a double-layered CEI, LiF-dominated inorganics inner layer, and ROCOOLi-dominated organics outer layer, which is not only stable and very efficient for lithium ion transport.

Methods: Herein, the biological roles of TUG1 and HuR in angiogenesis are first confirmed. Following that, HuR-binding VEGFA mRNAs are identified via the Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP), and Cross-Linking Immunoprecipitation (CLIP) assays. Actinomycin D and polysomal assays are also employed to confirm VEGFA mRNA stability. The co-localization of TUG1 with HuR is confirmed using FISH, while the RIP and RNA pull-down assays are employed to elucidate their interplay. The direct binding between TUG1 and HuR is confirmed through the CLIP assay. Co-Immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and rescue experiments are performed to further elucidate TUG1-HuR interactions. Results: While TUG1 repressed angiogenesis and aggravated CIRI, HuR exerted contrary effects. Specifically, HuR bound directly to VEGFA mRNA, a phenomenon that enhanced VEGFA mRNA stability.

By crossing the EP4 f/f mice with α-MyHC-Cre or S100A4-Cre mice, this work obtains the CM-EP4 knockout (EP4 f/f -α-MyHC Cre+ ) or CF-EP4 knockout (EP4 f/f -S100A4 Cre+ ) mice.

In the CMs, inhibition of EP4 suppresses ISO-induced TGF-β1 expression via blocking the cAMP/PKA pathway. In the CFs, inhibition of EP4 reversed TGF-β1-triggers production of ECM via preventing the formation of the TGF-β1/TGF-β receptor complex and blocks CF proliferation via suppressing the ERK1/2 pathway.

  @article{ , abstract = {Accurate identification of single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) is paramount for disease diagnosis. Despite the facile design of DNA hybridization probes, their limited specificity poses challenges in clinical applications. Here, a differential reaction pathway probe (DRPP) based on a dynamic DNA reaction network is presented. DRPP leverages differences in reaction intermediate concentrations between SNV and WT groups, directing them into distinct reaction pathways. This generates a strong pulse-like signal for SNV and a weak unidirectional increase signal for wild-type (WT). Through the application of machine learning to fluorescence kinetic data analysis, the classification of SNV and WT signals is automated with an accuracy of 99.6%, significantly exceeding the 80.7% accuracy of conventional methods. Additionally, sensitivity for variant allele frequency (VAF) is enhanced down to 0.1%, representing a ten-fold improvement over conventional approaches. DRPP accurately identified D614G and N501Y SNVs in the S gene of SARS-CoV-2 variants in patient swab samples with accuracy over 99% (n = 82). It determined the VAF of ovarian cancer-related mutations KRAS-G12R , NRAS-G12C , and BRAF-V600E in both tissue and blood samples (n = 77), discriminating cancer patients and healthy individuals with significant difference ( p < 0.001).

This phenomenon provides a potential basis for the development of treatment strategies for tissue damage and degeneration. This study aims to evaluate whether mitochondria isolated from osteoblasts can promote osteogenic differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Mitochondria from MSCs, which primarily utilize glycolysis, are compared with those from MG63 cells, which depend on oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria from both cell types are then encapsulated in cationic liposomes and transferred to MSCs, and their impact on differentiation is assessed. Mitochondria delivery from MG63 cells to MSCs grown in both two- and three-dimensional cultures results in increased expression of osteogenic markers, including Runt-related transcription factor 2, Osterix, and Osteopontin, and upregulation of genes involved in Bone morphogenetic protein 2 signaling and calcium import. This is accompanied by increased calcium influx and regulated by the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

  @article{ , abstract = {Glioblastoma (GBM) resistance to chemoradiotherapy is a major factor contributing to poor treatment outcomes. This resistance markedly affects the effectiveness of surgery combined with chemoradiotherapy and leads to post-surgical tumor recurrence. Therefore, exploring the mechanisms underlying chemoradiotherapy resistance in GBM is crucial for understanding its progression and improving therapeutic options. This study found that moesin (MSN) acts as a key promotor of chemoradiotherapy resistance in glioma stem cells (GSCs), enhancing their proliferation and stemness maintenance. Mechanistically, MSN activates the downstream PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway, driving the proneural-to-mesenchymal transition (PMT) in GSCs. This process enhances the repair of DNA damage caused by radiotherapy (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ), thereby increasing the resistance of GSCs to chemoradiotherapy. Additionally, GNE-317, a small molecule drug capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, specifically inhibits MSN and suppresses the activation of downstream PI3K/mTOR signaling. Importantly, the combination of GNE-317 with RT and TMZ exhibits a strong synergistic effect both in vivo and in vitro, achieving better efficacy compared to the traditional combination of RT and TMZ.

  @article{ , abstract = {The coordination of public and private goods production is essential for bacterial adaptation to environmental changes. Quorum sensing (QS) regulates this balance by mediating the trade-off between the communal benefits of “public goods,” such as siderophores and antibiotics, and the individual metabolic needs fulfilled by “private goods,” such as intracellular metabolites utilized for growth and survival. Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24 harbors a LasI/LasR-type QS system, MupI/MupR, which regulates mupirocin production through signaling molecules. This study explores how QS coordinates carbon and nitrogen metabolism to optimize the production of key secondary metabolites, including 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG), mupirocin, and siderophores, which serve as public goods. Loss of QS disrupts this balance by enhancing the Krebs cycle, denitrification, pyruvate anaplerosis, and ammonium assimilation, lead to halted 2,4-DAPG and mupirocin synthesis and increased siderophore production. In the absence of QS, elevated siderophore production compensates for iron acquisition, ensuring rapid cellular growth. Under nutrient-limited or high cell density conditions, MupR regulates carbon and nitrogen fluxes to sustain public goods production.

  @article{ , abstract = {Doxorubicin, an anthracycline commonly used for treating cancer patients, is known for its cardiotoxic side-effects. Although dose-dependent, but susceptibility remains variable among patients, and childhood-exposure-adult-onset remains challenging. Besides topoisomerase toxicity, Doxorubicin is also toxic to the mitochondria yet the underlying late onset mechanism remains elusive. Here, it is observed that the mitochondrial copy number in PBMCs of patients treated with anthracycline chemotherapy is negatively correlated with the change in plasma BNP levels after treatment. Isogenic hiPSC-CMs are generated with high, norm, and low mitochondrial copy numbers using mitochondrial transplantation and the YFP-Parkin system. Remarkably, lower mitochondria copy number translates to lower IC 50 , suggesting increased susceptibility. Mitochondria supplementation by intramyocardial injection prevents doxorubicin induced heart failure.

  @article{ , abstract = {Metastasis remains a significant challenge in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The role of ribonuclease T2 (RNASET2) in HCC is still uncertain, although it has been reported to have contradictory effects on some cancers. Here, it is demonstrated that RNASET2 knockout leads to significant accumulation of cholesterol, which in turn promotes MET-mediated HCC metastasis. Mechanistically, the absence of RNASET2 hinders the degradation of RNA into uridine, thereby reducing the conversion to UTP. This reduction restrains glucuronate metabolism and the expression of the related enzyme UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)1A1, ultimately resulting in the accumulation of cholesterol due to decreased formation of glucuronidated-bile acids. The administration of cholesterol induces the migration and invasion of HCC cells through MET (mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor) activation. However, the deficiency of RNASET2-induced HCC metastasis can be reversed by blocking MET with shRNA or savolitinib.

Twenty-three key genes in cholesterol biosynthesis are screened, and FDFT1 is identified via public databases (The Cancer Genome Atlas, International Cancer Genome Consortium and Gene Expression Omnibus). Clinical samples reveal that FDFT1 is highly expressed in HCC tissues, and this phenotype is strongly associated with a poor prognosis. Functionally, FDFT1 knockdown inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells and suppresses hepatocarcinogenesis in vitro and in vivo, whereas FDFT1 overexpression promotes HCC cell proliferation and metastasis.

Experiments indicate that HNF4A combines with the promoter of aldolase B ( ALDOB) and promotes the ALDOB transcription and that ALDOB combines with AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1) and inhibits AKT1 phosphorylation.

Initially, the malonyl-CoA pathway, comprising a malonyl-CoA hydrolase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae , is confirmed as the most efficient for MA production in Y. lipolytica . To further enhance MA production, two novel malonyl-CoA hydrolases exhibiting higher activity than the hydrolase from S. cerevisiae , are identified from Y. lipolytica and Fusarium oxysporum , respectively. The introduction of the malonyl-CoA hydrolase from F. oxysporum increases the MA titer to 6.3 g L −1 . Subsequently, advanced metabolic engineering strategies are performed to ensure a sufficient flux of the precursors acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA for MA production, resulting in a production of 13.8 g L −1 MA in shaking-flasks.

  @article{ , abstract = {Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with oxidative stress and redox signaling disruption. It is recently reported that proautophagic autophagy/beclin-1 regulator 1 (AMBRA1) is a positive modulator of the NF-κB pathway that promotes intestinal inflammation. However, its effect on intestinal redox state and whether AMBRA1 is regulated by oxidative stress remain unknown. In this study, it is found that AMBRA1 functions as a pro-oxidative factor that increases oxidative stress in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the N-terminal F1 domain is required for AMBRA1 to competitively interact with the N-terminal domain of NRF2, thereby antagonizing the interaction between deubiquitinating protein 3 (DUB3) and NRF2, suppressing DUB3-mediated NRF2 deubiquitination, and leading to NRF2 degradation. In response to H 2 O 2 stimulation, the interaction between AMBRA1 and ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) is enhanced, facilitating USP7 to deubiquitinate AMBRA1 at K83 and K86 and stabilize AMBRA1. Notably, the USP7 inhibitor, P5091, inhibits oxidative stress and colitis in vivo. Elevated AMBRA1 expression in inflamed colon tissues from ulcerative colitis patients is negatively correlated with decreased NRF2 protein levels.

  @article{ , abstract = {A major characteristic of ovarian cancer (OC) is its unique route of metastasis via ascites. The immune microenvironment in ascites remains understudied, leaving the mechanism of ascites-mediated abdominal metastasis obscure. Here, a single-cell transcriptomic landscape of CD45 + immune cells across multiple anatomical sites is depicted, including primary tumors, metastatic lesions, and ascites, from patients diagnosed with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). A novel subset of perilipin 2 high (PLIN2 hi ) macrophages are identified that are enriched in ascites and positively correlated with OC progression, hence being designated as “ascites-associated macrophages (AAMs)”. AAMs are lipid-loaded with overexpression of the lipid droplet protein PLIN2. Overexpression or suppression of PLIN2 can enhance or inhibit tumor cell migration, invasion, and vascular permeability in vitro, which is also confirmed in vivo.

Metabolomic profiling reveals a protective compound, apigenin, generated by P. goldsteinii , antagonizes bacterial clearance defects in aged mice. AMP-binding protein ( ampB ) is identified as a key gene involved in apigenin synthesis in P. goldsteinii using homologous recombination in bacteria. Mechanistically, apigenin binds directly to the potential sites on Fgr (M341 and D404), preventing its inhibitory role on Vav1 phosphorylation, and therefore promoting the activation of Cdc42/Rac1, Arp2/3 expression and subsequent actin reorganization, which contributes to the enhanced phagocytosis of macrophages to bacteria.

The cytosolic DNA sensing pathway, involving cGAMP synthase (cGAS) and Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING), has emerged as a key mediator of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the precise mechanisms through which cGAS activation influences AD progression remain poorly understood. In this study, we observed significant up-regulation of cGAS-STING signaling pathway in AD. Notably, this increase is primarily attributed to microglia, rather than non-microglial cell types. Using an inducible, microglia-specific cGAS knockout mouse model in the 5xFAD background, we demonstrated that deleting microglial cGAS at the onset of amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology profoundly restricts plaque accumulation and protects mice from Aβ-induced cognitive impairment. Mechanistically, our study revealed cGAS promotes plaque-associated microglia accumulation and is essential for inflammasome activation. Moreover, we showed that restricting cGAS-mediated innate immunity is crucial for preserving inter-cellular communication in the brain and induces pleiotrophin, a neuroprotective factor.

Stem cell therapy has demonstrated significant therapeutic promise across various autoimmune diseases. However, the intricate pathogenesis of AS-AIH has hindered the widespread utilization of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in this domain. Herein, it is demonstrated that necroptosis, as the primary mode of cell death in AIH, is crucial in causing AS-AIH. Inflammatory macrophages are the primary cell population involved in necroptosis. Inhibition of the specificity protein 1/sphingosine kinase 1/sphingosine-1-phosphate (SP1/SK1/S1P) axis is responsible for this phenomenon, leading to excessive activation of the intrahepatic immune system and aggravating liver damage. Furthermore, the S1P/S1PR2/YAP axis is the key pathway in initiating liver regeneration during AS-AIH. S1P synthesized by hepatocytes is the primary source, and this process is also regulated by the SP1/SK1 axis. MSCs promote S1P synthesis by macrophages through the delivery of SP1, which inhibits necroptosis and synergistically enhances liver regeneration. In addition, MSCs also promote S1P synthesis in hepatocytes through the same mechanism, further aiding liver regeneration. These findings unveil the core pathogenesis of AS-AIH and provide a theoretical foundation for using MSCs as a potential targeted therapeutic modality.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Ran An and Zhengyi Zhu and Yuyan Chen and Wenxian Guan and Jinglin Wang and Haozhen Ren}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202408974}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {12}, pages = {2408974}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly resistant to ferroptosis, which hinders the application of anti-ferroptosis therapy. Through drug screening, it is found that histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) significantly sensitized CRC to ferroptosis. The combination of HDACi and ferroptosis inducers synergically suppresses CRC growth both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanically, HDACi reduces ferroptosis suppressor protein (FSP1) by promoting its mRNA degradation. Specifically, it is confirmed that HDACi specifically targets HDAC1 and promotes the H3K27ac modification of fat mass- and obesity-associated gene (FTO) and AlkB Homolog 5, RNA Demethylase (ALKBH5), which results in significant activation of FTO and ALKBH5. The activation of FTO and ALKBH5 reduces N6-methyladenosine (m 6 A) modification on FSP1 mRNA, leading to its degradation. Crucially, lactylation of HDAC1 K412 is essential for ferroptosis regulation. Both Vorinostat (SAHA) and Trichostatin A (TSA) notably diminish HDAC1 K412 lactylation in comparison to other HDAC1 inhibitors, exhibiting a consistent trend of increasing susceptibility to ferroptosis. In conclusion, the research reveals that HDACi decreases HDAC1 K412 lactylation to sensitize CRC to ferroptosis and that the combination of HDACi and ferroptosis inducers can be a promising therapeutic strategy for CRC.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Zhou Yang and Wei Su and Qinglin Zhang and Lili Niu and Baijie Feng and Yu Zhang and Feng Huang and Jiaxin He and Qinyao Zhou and Xin Zhou and Longjun Ma and Jingwan Zhou and Yuanrong Wang and Wenjing Xiong and Jun Xiang and Zhilin Hu and Qiang Zhan and Bing Yao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202408845}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {12}, pages = {2408845}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {During the COVID-19 pandemic, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) has been recognized as the most reliable diagnostic tool. However, there is a need to develop multiplexed assays capable of analyzing multiple genes simultaneously to expand its application. To address this, a multiplexed RT-qPCR using a double emulsion (DE)-based carrier and a polymer microparticle reactor, termed primer-incorporated network tailored with Taqman probe (TaqPIN) is developed. The DE securely stores nucleic acid reagents like primers and probes within the polymer network until heating releases them for the reaction. The TaqPIN RT-qPCR demonstrates an amplification efficiency of 93.8% and can detect as few as 20 copies/µL. By loading the multiple microparticles into a single reaction, a multiplexed assay with only one optical channel is enabled. In practice, a nine-plex assay is designed to distinguish between variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

  @article{ , abstract = {The immunosuppressive microenvironment in pancreatic cancer, characterized by low tumor-specific T cells and excessive fibrosis, limits the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Here, three datasets and multi-immunofluorescence staining of tissue microarrays in pancreatic cancer indicate that mesothelin (MSLN) expression negatively correlates with cytotoxic T cells in tumor. Anti-MSLN antibody ( α MSLN) treatment of pancreatic cancer in vivo can significantly increase T cell infiltration. Meanwhile, the combination of α MSLN and neoantigen peptide vaccine identified from pancreatic cancer cell lines is demonstrated to be more effective in inducing neoantigen-specific T cell generation and infiltration at subcutaneous and orthotopic pancreatic cancer models for enhancing antitumor efficacy. Single-cell transcriptome analysis shows that the combined treatment significantly reduces the proportion of fibroblasts, improves the infiltration of IFN- γ + CD4 + and GZMK + CD8 + T cells, as well as reduces the interaction of antigen presentation-associated ligands and receptors between antigen-presenting Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (apCAFs) and naive CD4 + T cells. The negative correlations between apCAFs and CD8 + T cells/IFN- γ + CD4 + T cells are further confirmed in human pancreatic cancer tissues. Overall, this study demonstrates that targeting MSLN can improve neoantigen vaccine induced immune efficacy by reducing apCAFs to interrupt the conversion of naive CD4 + T cells to Tregs, and therefore increase the infiltration of tumor-specific T cells.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Zhixiong Cai and Zhenli Li and Wenting Zhong and Fangzhou Lin and Xiuqing Dong and Honghao Ye and Yutong Guo and Geng Chen and Xiaoling Yu and Haijun Yu and Ruijing Tang and Xiaolong Liu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202407976}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {12}, pages = {2407976}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Re-epithelialization constitutes a critical stage in the intricate process of wound healing, yet its mechanisms in the context of diabetic wounds remain elusive. In this study, the role of the mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) vis-à-vis the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of keratinocytes in diabetic wound re-epithelialization is investigated. The findings reveal an impediment in the MET process, rather than EMT, which significantly compromised re-epithelialization in diabetic wounds. Furthermore, Desmoplakin ( DSP ) gene expression, encoding a key desmosome protein, is down-regulated in diabetic rats. This down-regulation coincided with aberrant hypo-demethylation of the DSP promoter. The inhibition of DSP expression is linked to reduced occupancy of Ten-eleven translocation 3 (TET3) at the DSP promoter, consequently suppressing TET3-dependent DNA demethylation. Additionally, a novel lncRNA termed DSP-AS1is identified, which is antisense to DSP . Notably, DSP-AS1 expression is down-regulated in diabetic skin wounds, and it interacted with TET3, a DNA demethylase. Notably, DSP-AS1 is found to form R-loops, triple-stranded DNA:RNA hybrids, at the DSP promoter, facilitating TET3 localization to the DSP promoter. Collectively, the findings suggest that reduced R-loop formation by DSP-AS1 impairs DSP gene transcription by repressing TET3-mediated DNA demethylation.

Unraveling the major regulatory programs underlying MP patterned malignancy offers opportunities to identify more feasible therapeutic targets for patients with MP LUAD. This study shows that patients with MP subtype LUAD have aberrant activation of the MYC pathway compared to patients with other subtypes. In vitro and xenograft mouse model studies reveal that MP pattern in malignancy cannot be solely due to aberrant MYC expression but requires the involvement of M2-like macrophages. Excessively expressed MYC leads to the accumulation of M2-like macrophages from the bone marrow, which secretes TGFβ, to induce the expression of FOSL2 in tumor cells, thereby remodeling chromatin accessibility at promoter regions of MP-pattern genes to promote the MYC-mediated de novo transcriptional regulation of these genes. Additionally, the MP-pattern in malignancy can be effectively alleviated by disrupting the TGFβ-FOSL2 axis.

However, only a small portion of patients benefit from ICB therapy, indicating that the mechanism underlying immune checkpoint is still unclear. Here, it is reported that motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1 (MNX1), a homeobox domain-containing transcription factor, contributes to the tumor immune escape. MNX1 increases PD-L1 expression in cancer cells by stabilizing PD-L1 mRNA rather than activating transcription. Mechanistically, MNX1 exists in the cytoplasm of cancer cells and interacts with Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1), a multifunctional DNA/RNA-binding protein, to enhance the binding of YBX1 to PD-L1 mRNA. MNX1 ablation activates cytotoxic T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity and sensitizes CTLA-4 blockade therapy. Moreover, MNX1 also facilitates tumor progression in an immune-independent manner in cancer cells. In addition, MNX1 is upregulated by its adjacent long non-coding RNA MNX1-AS1 via HECT and RLD domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2 (HERC2).

Currently, no biomaterials have been reported to simultaneously up-regulate and down-regulate ROS to achieve broad-spectrum antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Inspired by the site-dependent effect of nanomaterials, a micron-sized ferroferric oxide (Fe 3 O 4 )/MXene (FM) heterojunction is synthesized using a hydrothermal method. The FM heterojunction could scavenge extracellular ROS by activating catalase (CAT)-like and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like nanozyme activities. Meanwhile, FM heterojunction could release ferric ions and ferrous ions by defect engineering to induce bacterial ferroptosis, up-regulating intercellular ROS, and lipid peroxidation. For applications in vivo, FM heterojunction is incorporated into the tips of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based microneedle (termed as GFM microneedle) using a two-step casting technique. The results showed that GFM microneedle combined with photothermal therapy could improve S. aureus -infected skin regeneration in diabetic rats. The effectiveness and safety of GFM microneedle are not less favorable than that of a commercial wound dressing.

Here, endothelial cell (EC)-specific Cpt1a KO and WT mice (<12 h old) are exposed to hyperoxia (70% O 2 ) for 14 days and allow them to recover in normoxia until postnatal day 28. Hyperoxia causes PH, which is aggravated in EC-specific Cpt1a KO mice. Upregulating endothelial Cpt1a expression inhibits hyperoxia-induced PV remodeling. Hyperoxia causes lung EndoMT, detected by immunofluorescence, scRNA-sequencing, and EC lineage tracing, which is further increased in EC-specific Cpt1a KO mice. Blocking EndoMT inhibits hyperoxia-induced PV remodeling. Male mice under the same high oxygen conditions develop a higher degree of PH than females, which is associated with reduced endothelial Cpt1a expression.

  @article{ , abstract = {Achieving high-performance dielectric materials remains a significant challenge due to the inherent trade-offs between high energy storage density and low energy loss. A central difficulty lies in identifying a suitable dipolar unit that can enhance the polarity and dielectric constant of the material while effectively suppressing the high energy losses associated with polarization relaxation, charge injection, and conduction. To address this, a novel strategy is proposed that introduces electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on the benzene ring of polystyrene-based polymers, creating bulky dipole groups that are resistant to reorientation under an electric field. This approach mitigates relaxation losses associated with dipole reorientation and manipulates the band structure via substituent modification to suppress conduction losses. Additionally, the deformation of the π -electron cloud under an electric field enhances the dielectric constant and energy storage density.

Furthermore, these compounds exhibit wide bandgaps exceeding 4.2 eV, making them the first d 10 metal mixed halide systems incorporating fluoride that are suitable for UV NLO applications. With UV absorption cut-off edges as short as 203 nm for (NH 4 ) 2 Cd 2 Cl 3 F 3 and 243 nm for (NH 4 ) 2 Cd 2 Br 3 F 3 , these materials represent a significant advancement in the development of UV-transparent NLO materials.

  @article{ , abstract = {Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are commonly used in polarization-sensitive photodetectors (PDs) for applications such as polarization imaging, remote sensing, and optical communication. Although various methods exist to adjust the polarization-sensitive photocurrent, a universal and effective approach for continuous control of MHPs’ optoelectronic and polarized properties is lacking. A universal strategy to electrically modulate the polarization ratio (PR) of self-powered polarized PDs using the ferro-pyro-phototronic effect (FPPE) in 2D perovskites is presented. By varying the amplitude and direction of ferroelectric polarization voltage, the built-in electric field in the heterojunction can be modulated, allowing for controllable PR regulation and adjustable polarization characteristics. Moreover, the polarized pyroelectric photoresponses are realized, significantly enhancing the responsivity, response speed of the polarized PDs. Both the pyroelectric currents and photocurrents exhibit obvious polarization characteristics. This method's versatility is demonstrated by creating three additional quasi-2D MHP ferroelectric-based polarized-sensitive PDs. A proof-of-concept for encrypted optical communication is achieved using the UV-sensitive PDs as light-sensing units.

  @article{ , abstract = {Lithium metal batteries are considered the holy grail for next-generation high-energy systems. However, lithium anode faces poor reversibility, unsatisfying cyclability and rate capability due to its uncontrollable plating/stripping behavior. While galvanostatic conditions are extensively studied, the behavior under more realistic application scenarios with variable inputs are less explored. Here, an in situ imaging platform using in-plane microdevice configurations is developed to effectively investigate Li plating/stripping behavior under dynamic conditions. This platform offers high detectivity for analyzing the nuclei size, density, distribution, and growth location, rate, and mode. It is for the first time revealed that nuclei density and growth locations remain constant and are solely determined by the initial nucleation overpotentials during dynamic plating. A transition in growth modes from uniform granular growth to tip-induced dendrite growth, and finally to directional growth among the dendrites is also observed. Guided by these findings, a dynamic plating protocol is proposed, which can greatly improve the Li reversibility and cycling stability.

  @article{ , abstract = {Recipients often suffer from hyperlactatemia during liver transplantation (LT), but whether hyperlactatemia exacerbates hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) after donor liver implantation remains unclear. Here, the role of hyperlactatemia in hepatic IRI is explored. In this work, hyperlactatemia is found to exacerbate ferroptosis during hepatic IRI. Lactate-primed lysine acetyltransferase 8 (KAT8) is determined to directly lactylate mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 2 (PCK2) at Lys100 and augments PCK2 kinase activity. By using gene-edited mice, evidence indicating that PCK2 exacerbates hepatic ferroptosis during IRI is generated. Mechanistically, PCK2 lactylate at Lys100 acts as a critical inducer of ferroptosis during IRI by competitively inhibiting the Parkin-mediated polyubiquitination of 3-oxoacyl-ACP synthase (OXSM), thereby leading to metabolic remodeling of mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (mtFAS) and the potentiation of oxidative phosphorylation and the tricarboxylic acid cycle.

  @article{ , abstract = {3D disordered fibrous network structures (3D-DFNS), such as cytoskeletons, collagen matrices, and spider webs, exhibit remarkable material efficiency, lightweight properties, and mechanical adaptability. Despite their widespread in nature, the integration into engineered materials is limited by the lack of study on their complex architectures. This study addresses the challenge by investigating the structure-property relationships and stability of biomimetic 3D-DFNS using large datasets generated through procedural modeling, coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, and machine learning. Based on these datasets, a network deep reinforcement learning (N-DRL) framework is developed to optimize its stability, effectively balancing weight reduction with the maintenance of structural integrity. The results reveal a pronounced correlation between the total fiber length in 3D-DFNS and its mechanical properties, where longer fibers enhance stress distribution and stability. Additionally, fiber orientation is also considered as a potential factor influencing stress growth values. Furthermore, the N-DRL model demonstrates superior performance compared to traditional approaches in optimizing network stability while minimizing mass and computational cost. Structural integrity is significantly improved through the addition of triple junctions and the reduction of higher-order nodes. In summary, this study leverages machine learning to optimize biomimetic 3D-DFNS, providing novel insights into the design of lightweight, high-strength materials.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yunhao Yang and Runnan Bai and Wenli Gao and Leitao Cao and Jing Ren and Zhengzhong Shao and Shengjie Ling}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202413293}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {11}, pages = {2413293}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Therefore, this study employs network toxicology and network pharmacology to comprehensively analyze the hepatotoxic mechanism of As and the hepatoprotective mechanism of LA, and further verifies the mechanisms of peroxisomal β-oxidation and lipophagy in the process. The network analysis results show that As induces liver damage mainly through autophagy, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and oxidative stress, whereas LA exerts its hepatoprotective properties mainly by regulating lipid metabolism. Further verifications find that As inhibits SIRT1 expression, activates the P53 and Notch pathways, damages mitochondria, inhibits peroxisomal β-oxidation, increases lipid accumulation, and enhances lipophagy in the liver, while LA intervention alleviates As-induced lipid accumulation and enhances lipophagy by targeting SIRT1, ameliorating mitochondrial damage, enhancing peroxisomal β-oxidation, thereby alleviating As-induced liver damage.

Fecal microbiota transplantation experiments further demonstrated that the gut microbiota significantly influences AS progression, with B. ovatus alone exerting effects comparable to volunteer feces from volunteers. Notably, B. ovatus alleviated AS primarily by restoring the intestinal barrier and enhancing bile acid metabolism, particularly through the production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), a tryptophan-derived metabolite. IAA inhibited the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway in M1 macrophages, promoted M2 macrophage polarisation, and restored the M1/M2 polarisation balance, ultimately reducing aortic inflammation.

  @article{ , abstract = {Ischemic stroke is the most common cerebrovascular disease and the leading cause of permanent disability worldwide. Recent studies have shown that stroke development and prognosis are closely related to abnormal tryptophan metabolism. Here, significant downregulation of 3-hydroxy-kynurenamine (3-HKA) in stroke patients and animal models is identified. Supplementation with 3-HKA improved long-term neurological recovery, reduced infarct volume, and increased ipsilateral cerebral blood flow after distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). 3-HKA promoted angiogenesis, functional blood vessel formation, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) repair. Moreover, 3-HKA inhibited A1-like (neurotoxic) astrocyte activation but promoted A2-like (neuroprotective) astrocyte polarization. Proteomic analysis revealed that 3-HKA inhibited AIM2 inflammasome activation after stroke, and co-labeling studies indicated that AIM2 expression typically increased in astrocytes at 7 and 14 days after stroke. Consistently, in co-cultures of primary mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells and astrocytes, 3-HKA promoted angiogenesis after oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). AIM2 overexpression in astrocytes abrogated 3-HKA-driven vascular remodeling in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that 3-HKA may regulate astrocyte-mediated vascular remodeling by impeding AIM2 inflammasome activation.

However, the precise mechanisms underlying how activated microglia induced astrocyte atrophy and loss remain enigmatic. In this study, a depression model induced by chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) is utilized. The results show that CSDS induces significant anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, along with notable astrocyte atrophy and apoptosis, microglial activation, and elevated levels of microglial interleukin-6 (IL-6). Subsequent studies demonstrate that IL-6 released from activated microglia promotes astrocyte apoptosis.

Direct inhibition of microglia by minocycline corroborates these effects. The selective knockdown of IL-6 in microglia and IL-6 receptors in astrocytes effectively mitigates depression-like behaviors and reduces astrocyte atrophy.

Using a comprehensive experimental approach, including TGF-β1-induced MMT cell models, METTL3 conditional knockout (METTL3 KO) mice, and renal biopsy samples from patients with CAR, the study investigates the involvement of METTL3/Smad3 axis in driving MMT and renal fibrosis during the episodes of CAR. We found that elevated m6A modification and METTL3 levels strongly correlated with enhanced MMT and increased fibrotic severity. METTL3 knockout (METTL3 KO) significantly increased the m6A modification of Smad3, decreased Smad3 expression, and inhibited M2-driven MMT. Smad3 knockdown with siRNA (siSmad3) further inhibited M2-driven MMT, while Smad3 overexpression rescued the inhibitory effects of METTL3 silencing, restoring M2-driven MMT and fibrotic tissue damage. Additionally, the METTL3 inhibitor STM2457 effectively reversed M2-driven MMT and alleviated fibrotic tissue damage in CAR.

Moreover, both glutathione (GSH) metabolism and NADP + -NADPH metabolism are affected by GH, indicating the potential in disulfidptosis regulation. It is also observed that GH enhanced the sensitivity of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells to disulfidptosis, which is dependent on the activation of NRF2-SLC7A11 pathway. GH significantly increased the levels of NRF2 and promoted the transcription of NRF2 target gene, SLC7A11, through autophagy-mediated non-canonical mechanism. Under the condition of glucose starvation, GH-induced upregulation of SLC7A11 aggravated uptake of cysteine, disturbance of GSH synthesis, depletion of NADPH, and accumulation of disulfide molecules, ultimately leading to the formation of disulfide bonds between different cytoskeleton proteins and disulfidptosis eventually.

Herein, the study utilizes purple rice lixivium to synthesize biomass carbon dots (termed BCDs) with wheat germ agglutinin-like residues for precisely targeting Gram-positive bacteria. Subsequently, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) molecules are grafted onto BCDs to yield FITC-labeled BCDs (termed CDFs), which can selectively and rapidly (≤5 min) stain bacterial cell wall and particularly target the peptidoglycan component. Strikingly, CDFs achieve superselective visualization of Gram-positive bacteria even in the presence of mammalian cells and Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, protoporphyrin (PpIX) molecules are conjugated onto BCDs to yield PpIX-modified BCDs (termed CDPs), which can induce bacterial aggregation and in situ generate singlet oxygen for realizing enhanced antibacterial photodynamic therapy (PDT). At the minimum bactericidal concentration of CDPs (PpIX: 5 µg mL −1 ), CDP-mediated PDT disrupts bacterial structure and metabolism pathways, thereby affecting bacterial interactions to eradicate biofilms.

Strikingly, over three-quarters of these neurons are located in distinct neuronal clusters. Within these clusters, different cell types tend to collaborate rather than function independently. Typically, excitatory neuron clusters mainly consist of excitatory-excitatory combinations, while inhibitory clusters primarily contain excitatory-inhibitory combinations. Both cluster types have roughly equal numbers of neurons in each layer. Importantly, most excitatory and inhibitory neuron clusters form spatial partnerships, indicating a balanced local neuronal network and correlating with specific functional regions.

Here, significantly elevated IL-6R expression is identified in degenerated cartilage of OA patients. Further, in vivo experiments reveal that intra-articular injection of recombinant IL-6R protein or activation of gp130 (Y757F mutation) accelerates OA progression. Conversely, knockout of IL-6R or JAK2, as well as treatment with a JAK inhibitor, alleviates OA symptoms. Mechanistically, chondrocytes derived from degenerative cartilage exhibit impaired nuclear localization of SOX9, a key regulator of cartilage homeostasis. JAK inhibition stabilizes SIRT1, reduces SOX9 acetylation, and thereby facilitates SOX9 nuclear localization, promoting cartilage repair.

  @article{ , abstract = {The advent of biomacromolecules antagonizing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has revolutionized the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). However, frequent intravitreal injections of these biomacromolecules impose an enormous burden on patients and create a massive workload for healthcare providers. This causes patients to abandon therapy, ultimately leading to progressive and irreversible vision loss. In order to address this unmet clinical need, a noninvasive treatment for nAMD is developed. An optimized cell-penetrating peptide derivative, bxy Penetratin (bxyWP), is used to non-covalently complex with the anti-VEGF protein aflibercept (AFL) via reversible hydrophobic interaction. The interaction is crucial for AFL delivery, neither impairing the affinity of AFL to pathological VEGF, nor being interfered by endogenous proteins in tear fluids.

The micro- and nanoscale architecture critically influences the mechanical and electrochemical performance of these electrodes. However, achieving a balance between high compressive strength, electrochemical stability, and cost-effective sustainable production remains challenging. Here, a superelastic wood nanocarbon sponge (WNCS) with a wrinkled multilayer structure is developed via a facile “top–down” design on natural wood. These unique wrinkled nanolayers effectively alleviate stress concentration through elastic deformation, resulting in a high compressive strength of 580.6 kPa at 70% reversible strain. The significantly increased specific surface area, coupled with abundant micro-mesopores and highly graphitized nanocarbon, promotes rapid ion/electron transport, enabling the WNCS to achieve an ultrahigh capacitance of 4.21 F cm −2 at 1 mA cm −2 , along with excellent cyclic stability and rate capability. Furthermore, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) using a WNCS anode and a NiCo-layered double hydroxide cathode retains 71.8% of its initial capacitance after 1000 compression cycles and withstands stress up to 1.03 MPa without capacitance degradation.

Here, a new catalyst with an inverse structure of a supported metal catalyst that consists of metallic iron particles loaded with an aluminum hydride species is reported. The iron catalyst is readily prepared from an α-Fe 2 O 3 precursor and ammonia could be synthesized at more than twice the ammonia synthesis rate/catalyst volume of the conventional industrial iron catalyst, even though the specific surface area of the former is only half that of the latter. In addition, ammonia synthesis over the catalyst is observed with a small apparent activation energy at 50 °C.

Most in vitro systems used to study nuclear deformations impose whole-cell confinement that mimics the physical crowding experienced by cells during 3D migration through tissues. Such systems, however, do not reproduce the types of nuclear deformations expected to occur in cells that line tissues such as endothelial or epithelial cells whose physical confinement stems principally from the topography of their underlying basement membrane. Here, it is shown that endothelial cells and myoblasts cultured on microgroove substrates that mimic the anisotropic topography of the basement membrane exhibit large-scale 3D nuclear deformations, with partial to complete nuclear penetration into the microgrooves. These deformations do not lead to significant DNA damage and are dynamic with nuclei cyclically entering and exiting the microgrooves. Atomic force microscopy measurements show that these deformation cycles are accompanied by transient changes in perinuclear stiffness. Interestingly, nuclear penetration into the grooves is driven principally by cell-substrate adhesion stresses, with a limited need for cytoskeleton-associated forces. Finally, it is demonstrated that myoblasts from laminopathy patients exhibit abnormal nuclear deformations on microgrooves, raising the possibility of using microgroove substrates as a novel functional diagnostic platform for pathologies that involve abnormal nuclear mechanics.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Claire Leclech and Giulia Cardillo and Bettina Roellinger and Xingjian Zhang and Joni Frederick and Kamel Mamchaoui and Catherine Coirault and Abdul I.

  @article{ , abstract = {Vascular calcification is a highly regulated process in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is strongly correlated with morbidity and mortality, especially in the adverse stage of vascular remodeling after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). However, the pathogenesis of vascular graft calcification, particularly the role of endothelial-smooth muscle cell interaction, is still unclear. To test how ECs interact with SMCs in artery grafts, single-cell analysis of wild-type mice is first performed using an arterial isograft mouse model and found robust cytokine-mediated signaling pathway activation and SMC proliferation, together with upregulated endothelial tripartite motif 35 (TRIM35) expression. Unexpectedly, severe SMC calcification in artery grafts is found in TRIM35 conditional endothelial knockout (cKO) mice. Calcified medium (comprising calcium chloride and beta-glycerophosphate)-induced calcium deposition in vitro is also found in SMCs cocultured with TRIM35 knockout endothelium. This extraordinary phenomenon is further confirmed to be induced by increased MMP10 secretion. Mechanistically, endothelial TRIM35 inhibits MMP10 expression and secretion by promoting K63-linked ubiquitination of RelB and maintaining its nuclear localization, consequently inhibiting nuclear transcription of MMP10 through the noncanonical NF-κB signaling pathway. Targeting MMP10 in situ in arterial isografts can effectively alleviate vascular calcification caused by conditional endothelial TRIM35 knockout. These findings demonstrated that TRIM35 inhibited vascular calcification during arterial isograft remodeling, a process that is driven by the aberrant secretion of endothelial MMP10.

  @article{ , abstract = {Adjuvants are non-specific immune enhancers commonly used to improve the responsiveness and persistence of the immune system toward antigens. However, due to the undefined chemical structure, toxicity, non-biodegradability, and lack of design technology in many existing adjuvants, it remains difficult to achieve substantive breakthroughs in the adjuvant research field. Here, a novel adjuvant development strategy based on stapling peptides is reported to overcome this challenge. The nano-vaccine incorporating peptide adjuvant and recombinant HBsAg protein not only induced strong antibody titers that are equivalent to aluminum adjuvanted vaccines but also simultaneously activated T-cell immune response. Similar results are also observed in herpes zoster vaccine and more complex influenza vaccine. The mechanism analysis demonstrates that antigen is efficiently carried into antigen-presenting cells (APCs) by peptide, further promoting the secretion of cytokines and activation of APCs. In addition, by redesigning the adjuvant, it is found that the sulfonium centers, rather than the sequence of peptide played an important role in immune activation. This discovery may provide a new paradigm for the rational design of peptide-based adjuvants.

  @article{ , abstract = {Disruption of the intestinal epithelial barrier results in increased permeability and is a key factor in the onset and progression of Crohn's disease (CD). The protein SPARC is primarily involved in cell interaction and migration, but its specific role in the intestinal epithelial barrier remains unclear. This study demonstrates that SPARC is significantly overexpressed in both CD patients and murine models of colitis. Furthermore, mice deficient in SPARC exhibits resistance to chemically induced colitis, a phenomenon associated with the modulation of barrier-associated proteins. Mechanistically, it is elucidated that SPARC competitively binds to OTUD4 in conjunction with MYD88, facilitating the translocation of p65 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and subsequent activation of the p65-MLCK/MLC2 pathway, thereby compromising barrier integrity. Additionally, it is identified that the elevated expression of SPARC in CD is regulated via the METTL3-YTHDF1 axis. These findings indicate that SPARC levels are elevated in patients with CD and in colitis-induced mice, leading to intestinal barrier damage through direct interaction with OTUD4 and subsequent activation of the MYD88/p65/MLCK/MLC2 signaling pathway.

  @article{ , abstract = {Plants activate defense machinery when infested by herbivorous insects but avoid such costs in the absence of herbivory. However, the key signaling pathway regulators underlying such flexibility and the mechanisms that insects exploit these components to disarm plant defense systems remain elusive. Here, it is reported that immune repressor 14-3-3e in rice Oryza sativa (OsGF14e) regulates immune homeostasis. Infestation with brown planthopper (BPH) Nilaparvata lugens decreased OsGF14e expression; however, the level of downregulation is limited both by the short duration and the specific feeding location. OsGF14e interacts with Enhanced Disease Resistance 1-like (OsEDR1l), a Raf-like MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK), and repressed jasmonic acid, jasmonic acid-isoleucine, and H 2 O 2 accumulation by enhancing OsEDR1l abundance and signaling ability. OsGF14e and OsEDR1l overexpression renders rice susceptible to BPH, whereas their knockout increases plant resistance but compromises rice growth and grain yield. Intriguingly, BPH 14-3-3e protein (Nl14) that shares high sequence homology and structural similarity with OsGF14e is identified from BPH saliva and egg-associated secretions. Mediated through BPH feeding and oviposition, Nl14, similar to OsGF14e, interacts with OsEDR1l and triggers the OsEDR1l signaling, thereby suppressing plant defenses and facilitating BPH infestation. Apparently, structural and functional mimicry makes it possible for this newly discovered BPH effector to exploit rice OsGF14e-EDR1l immune suppression module.

Herein, this study draws inspiration from the electronic structure of transition metal vanadium, proposing the leverage of TME specific-features to induce structural transformations in sheet-like vanadium carbide MXenzymes (TVMz). These transformations trigger cascading catalytic reactions that amplify oxidative stress, thereby significantly enhancing multimodal tumor therapy. Specifically, the engineered HTVMz, coated with hyaluronic acid, exhibits good stability and generates a thermal effect under NIR-II laser irradiation. The thermal effect, combined with TME characteristics, facilities a structural transformation into ultra-small vanadium oxide nanozymes (VO x ). The enlarged surface area of VO x substantially enhances ROS regeneration and amplifies oxidative stress, which promotes lysosomal permeability and induces endoplasmic reticulum stress. The high-valent vanadium in VO x interacts with intracellular glutathione, disrupting redox homeostasis and intensifying oxidative stress further. These amplifications accelerate tumor apoptosis, induce ferroptosis, and suppress HSP90 expression. Consequently, the heightened thermal sensitivity of HTVMz synergistically promotes tumor cell death via multimodal therapeutic pathways.

Then, it is demonstrated that TAMs functioned as a critical mediator in the Gal1-induced progression of HCC and the establishment of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing determined that Gal1 promoted the upregulation of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 20 (CCL20) in TAMs via activating the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB pathway. Employing an anti-CCL20 neutralizing antibody and Foxp3DTR mice, it is demonstrated that CCR6 + Foxp3 + regulatory T cells (Tregs) recruited by Gal1-induced TAMs contributed to reduced infiltration and dysfunctional state of CD8 + T cells, subsequently facilitating tumor progression. Targeting Gal1 dampened the secretion of CCL20 and inhibits the recruitment of Tregs, thereby activating anti-tumor immunity and ameliorating anti-PD-1 resistance.

  @article{ , abstract = {Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in obese patients remains challenging. Recent studies have linked obesity to an increased risk of TNBC and malignancies. Through multiomic analysis and experimental validation, a dysfunctional Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 3 Subunit H (EIF3H)/Yes-associated protein (YAP) proteolytic axis is identified as a pivotal junction mediating the interplay between cancer-associated adipocytes and the response to anti-cancer drugs in TNBC. Mechanistically, cancer-associated adipocytes drive metabolic reprogramming resulting in an upregulated hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP). This aberrant upregulation of HBP promotes YAP O-GlcNAcylation and the subsequent recruitment of EIF3H deubiquitinase, which stabilizes YAP, thus promoting tumor growth and chemotherapy resistance. It is found that Retatrutide, an anti-obesity agent, inhibits HBP and YAP O-GlcNAcylation leading to increased YAP degradation through the deprivation of EIF3H-mediated deubiquitylation of YAP. In preclinical models of obese TNBC, Retatrutide downregulates HBP, decreases YAP protein levels, and consequently decreases tumor size and enhances chemotherapy efficacy.

  @article{ , abstract = {Intranasal delivery of mRNA vaccines offers promising opportunities to combat airborne viruses like SARS-CoV-2 by provoking mucosal immunity, which not only defends against respiratory infection but also prevents contagious transmission. However, the development of nasal mRNA vaccines has been hampered by the lack of effective means to overcome the mucus barrier. Herein, ionizable lipid-incorporated liquid lipid nanoparticles (iLLNs) capable of delivering mRNA cargo across airway mucosa are designed. Adjusting the ratios of ionizable and cationic lipids allows fine-tuning of the p K a of iLLNs to the range of nasal mucosal pH (5.5–6.5), thus facilitating mucus penetration via the formation of near-neutral, PEGylated muco-inert surfaces. When nasally administered to mice, the top candidate iLLN-2/mRNA complexes enable about 60-fold greater reporter gene expression in the nasal cavity, compared to the benchmark mRNA-lipid nanoparticles (ALC-LNP) having the same lipid composition as that of BNT162b2 vaccine. Moreover, a prime-boost intranasal immunization of iLLN-2/mRNA complexes elicits a greater magnitude of SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific mucosal IgA and IgG response than ALC-LNP, without triggering any noticeable inflammatory reactions. Taken together, these results provide useful insights for the design of nasally deliverable mRNA formulations for prophylactic applications.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Nipuni Maniyamgama and Ki Hyun Bae and Zi Wei Chang and Jialing Lee and Melgious J.

  @article{ , abstract = {Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with well-established metabolic risk factors, especially hyperlipidemia and obesity. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (mIRI) significantly offsets the therapeutic efficacy of revascularization. Previous studies indicated that disrupted lipid homeostasis can lead to lipid peroxidation damage and inflammation, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the study demonstrates that hyperlipidemia is a key driver of mIRI. Long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (ACSL1) is upregulated in both hyperlipidemia and AMI patients. ACSL1 expression is induced by a high-fat microenvironment (oxLDL and palmitic acid) in a concentration-dependent manner. Interestingly, the protein level is positively correlated with total cholesterol level and thromboinflammatory biomarkers. Furthermore, ACSL1 reprogrammed lipid metabolism in monocytes, leading to the accumulation of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)/lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). The monocytic LPC/LPA axis accelerated lipid peroxidation and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)-induced thromboinflammation via the paracrine effect. The main LPA producer Autotaxinis is also induced under high-fat conditions and then exerts thromboinflammation response through converted LPC to LPA. Finally, ACSL1 knockdown or NETs release inhibitor (DNase I or GSK484) significantly alleviated mIRI in mice. These findings highlight ACSL1 and NETosis as potential key targets for preventing mIRI and underscore the lipid peroxidation in the mechanisms of ACSL1-mediated thromboinflammation.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Shuai Jiang and Xueguang Lin and Bo Chen and Gang Chen and Kristine J.S.

Although immunosuppressive genes are upregulated in different immune cells, only neutrophils dramatically increase in the BALF of patients in immunosuppressive phase of sepsis. Five neutrophil subpopulations in BALF are identified, among which CXCR2 + and CD274 ( PD-L1 coding gene) + IL1RN + neutrophil subpopulations increased significantly during septic immunosuppression. Interestingly, a developmental trajectory from CXCR2 + to CD274 + IL1RN + neutrophil subpopulation is disclosed.

Stem cell is of great importance in bone regeneration, and periosteum is rich in periosteal stem cell, which has a great influence on repairing bone defects. Bioengineered periosteum with excellent biocompatibility and stem cell homing capabilities to promote bone regeneration is of great clinical significance. The E7 peptide (EPLQLKM), which exhibits a specific affinity for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), is beneficial for modulating cellular functions. In this study, a unique microporous structured carboxymethyl chitosan/sodium alginate membrane with a proper mass ratio is developed by the addition of Poloxam 407 （P407）, which is then functionalized with the E7 affinitive peptide. This membrane, characterized by its microporous structure and E7 peptide functionalization (CSSA/P/E), not only demonstrated favorable mechanical properties, enhanced hydrophilicity, satisfactory biodegradation profile, and excellent biocompatibility, but also synergistically enhanced MSCs recruitment. It is found to promote the proliferation, spreading, and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs in vitro and to accelerate early periosteal regeneration, bone matrix deposition, and vascularization in vivo, leading to effective regeneration of critical-sized bone defects.

Strengthening the pelvic floor with bioactive tissue-engineered meshes is an emerging concept. This study investigates tissue regenerative design parameters, including degradability, porosity, and angulation, to develop alternative degradable melt electrowritten (MEW) constructs for surgical applications of POP. MEW constructs were fabricated in hierarchical geometries by two-way stacking of the fibers with three different inter layer angles of 90°, 45°, or 22.5°. Implants printed at 22.5° have higher tensile strength under dry conditions and show better vaginal fibroblast (VF) attachment in vitro. In vivo assessment using preclinical mouse and ovine models demonstrates more effective degradation and improved tissue integration in 22.5° angular meshes compared to 90° and 45° meshes, with evidence of neo-collagen deposition within implants at 6 weeks. The pattern and geometry of the layered MEW implants also influence the foreign body response, wherein the anti-inflammatory phenotype shows a greater ratio of anti-inflammatory CD206+ M2 macrophages/pro-inflammatory CCR7+ M1 macrophages.

  @article{ , abstract = {Aspartate (Asp) metabolism-mediated antioxidant functions have important implications for neonatal growth and intestinal health; however, the antioxidant mechanisms through which Asp regulates the gut microbiota and influences RIP activation remain elusive. This study reports that chronic oxidative stress disrupts gut microbiota and metabolite balance and that such imbalance is intricately tied to the perturbation of Asp metabolism. Under normal conditions, in vivo and in vitro studies reveal that exogenous Asp improves intestinal health by regulating epithelial cell proliferation, nutrient uptake, and apoptosis. During oxidative stress, Asp reduces Megasphaera abundance while increasing Ruminococcaceae . This reversal effect depends on the enhanced production of the antioxidant eicosapentaenoic acid mediated through Asp metabolism and microbiota. Mechanistically, the application of exogenous Asp orchestrates the antioxidant responses in enterocytes via the modulation of the RIP3-MLKL and RIP1-Nrf2-NF-κB pathways to eliminate excessive reactive oxygen species and maintain mitochondrial functionality and cellular survival.

  @article{ , abstract = {The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) involves the recombination of diamagnetic hydroxyl (OH) or water (H 2 O) into the paramagnetic triplet state of oxygen (O 2 ). The spin conservation of oxygen intermediates plays a crucial role in OER, however, research on spin dynamics during the catalytic process remains in its early stages. Herein, β -Ni(OH) 2 and Fe-doped β -Ni(OH) 2 (Ni 5 Fe 1 (OH) 2 ) are utilized as model catalysts to understand the mechanism of spin magnetic effects at iron (III) sites during OER. Combined with magnetic characterization, it is founded that the introduction of Fe transforms the antiferromagnetic Ni(OH) 2 into a ferromagnetic material. Testing the magnetic response of the catalyst under an external magnetic field, the OER activity of Ni 5 Fe 1 (OH) 2 is significantly enhanced in comparison to Ni(OH) 2 . This improvement is likely due to the introduction of iron sites, which promote spin magnetic effects and enhance reaction kinetics, thereby increasing catalytic efficiency. Combining experimental and theoretical characterization, it is discovered that the iron sites accelerate the formation of heterogeneous dual-site O─O bridging, represented as ─Ni─O─O─Fe─, thereby effectively enhancing the kinetics of the OER reaction.

Drug affinity responsive target stability and mass spectrometry techniques are employed to confirm the direct binding target of pristimerin. Heat shock protein family A member 8 (HSPA8) is identified and verified by cellular thermal shift assays and surface plasmon resonance assays. The further results suggested that pristimerin promoted the ubiquitination and degradation of HSPA8, leading to a decrease in the degradation of Vac Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor 1 (VAV1), a downstream client protein of HSPA8 which plays a crucial role in activating the ERK pathway. Importantly, knockdown of HSPA8 or VAV1 significantly impaired the anticancer activity of pristimerin on TNBC cells. Additionally, pristimerin significantly inhibited the migration and invasion of TNBC cells and enhanced the sensitivity of TNBC cells to doxorubicin. Collectively, this study provides the initial evidence that pristimerin directly targets HSPA8 to activate the VAV1/ERK pathway, thereby promoting cell autophagy and apoptosis.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Qin-Wen Liu and Qi-Ling Fan and Jia-Ying Chen and Jing-Xin Liu and Yi Li and Qian Luo and Yu-Peng Chen and Hang-Tian Wu and An-Qi Xu and Sheng Wang and Ai-Ping Lu and Dao-Gang Guan}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202413174}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {10}, pages = {2413174}, shortjournal = {Adv.

As a proof of concept, a latent bioreactive unnatural amino acid fluorosulfate-L-tyrosine (FSY) is first introduced at site 36 of the affibody with cysteine mutation (Z HER2:342 -Cys) to produce Z HER2:342 -36 FSY -Cys.

Furthermore, TLB treatment results in a decrease in proinflammatory cytokines and an increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines.

  @article{ , abstract = {MXene is widely used in the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding field. However, the high electromagnetic reflectivity of pure MXene causes potential secondary EMI pollution. This study presents a hollow egg-box structure used in MXene composite film, by which the reflectivity (R) could decrease from 0.98 to 0.54 and absorbance (A) increased from 0.02 to 0.45, effectively decreasing the high electromagnetic reflectivity of pure MXene. Additionally, compared to pure MXene films, the MXene composite films exhibit improved electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) and SSE/t. The prepared films achieve a peak EMI SE of 69.19 dB at 12.4 GHz, which is 1.3 times higher than pure MXene, and a peak SSE/t of 27 888 dB cm 2 g⁻¹ at 12.4 GHz, 1.4 times that of pure MXene. The hollow egg-box structure not only enhances the electromagnetic shielding performance beyond pure MXene but also demonstrates outstanding performance compared to most reported MXene films, balancing lightweight material properties with effective shielding. Furthermore, the prepared MXene composite films with the hollow egg-box structure show improved water resistance. Therefore, MXene composite films with hollow egg-box structures are promising candidates for advanced EMI devices in future lightweight materials.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yijie Wang and Chenxiang Zhao and Yunze Tian and Yue Sun and Mengfei Zhang and Kangjing Wang and Bihua Xia and Yang Wang and Ting Li and Xuhui Zhang and Jing Huang and Shibo Wang and Weifu Dong and Jinliang Qiao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202411932}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {10}, pages = {2411932}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Feeding behavior changes induced by opioid addiction significantly contribute to the worsening opioid crisis. Activation of the reward system has shown to provoke binge eating disorder in individuals with opioid use disorder, whereas prolonged opioid exposure leads to weight loss. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these phenomena is essential for addressing this pressing societal issue. This study demonstrates that weight loss resulting from feeding behavior changes during morphine addiction requires the activation of the ventral tegmental area dopamine (DA) system, which suppresses the orexin feeding center. Specifically, DA exerts an inhibitory effect on orexin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus area (LHA) through a feedforward inhibition mediated by GABA neurons in the LHA, involving D1 receptors (D1R) and T-type Ca 2+ channels. Moreover, the morphine addiction-induced reduction in body weight and food intake can be reversed by the D1R antagonist SCH23390 and chemogenetic silencing of GABA neurons in the LHA.

This study involves 19 patients with pharmacologically resistant epilepsy who participate in a delayed match/mismatch sample task designed to separately assess their ability to discriminate between low-arousal and high-arousal emotions. Three groups of 11 brain subregions, with dominant lateralization, compose a network, which is identified as responsible for discriminating arousal-dependent emotions. The connection of these subregions, leading by the left insula and right middle temporal gyrus, defines the pathways for discriminating emotions with different arousals.

TYP, with bioavailability of only 2.78%, is an active component of Typha angustifolia L . and Pushen capsules which is clinically treated for hyperlipidemia. The metabolic process of TYP is identified, and key enzymes involved in TYP metabolism are validated through gene knockout and overexpression techniques. Through overexpressing α-rhamnosidase (Rha) in Escherichia coli , TYP is verified to metabolize into isorhamnetin-3- O -neohesperidin (M1) and isorhamnetin-3- O -glucoside (M2) after removing rhamnose through Rha. Besides, knockout of β-glucosidase (Glu) confirms that TYP generates M3 through Glu after removing glucose. Combined with molecular docking, M3 is transformed to generate 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (M4), protocatechuic acid (M5), and 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (M6) through flavonoid reductase (Flr) and chalcone isomerase (Chi). In conclusion, multiple enzymes involved in TYP metabolism (Rha/Glu→Flr→Chi) are identified. Through in vivo experiments, combined use of M3 and M5 also shows excellent anti-hyperlipidemia efficacy.

Response to the same drug varies across patients, and the timing of treatment is an important factor in determining prognosis. Therefore, development of patient-specific preclinical models that can predict a patient's drug response within a short period is imperative. In this study, a printed gastric cancer (pGC) model is developed for preclinical chemotherapy using extrusion-based 3D bioprinting technology and tissue-specific bioinks containing patient-derived tumor chunks. The pGC model retained the original tumor characteristics and enabled rapid drug evaluation within 2 weeks of its isolation from the patient. In fact, it is confirmed that the drug response-related gene profile of pGC tissues co-cultured with human gastric fibroblasts (hGaFibro) is similar to that of patient tissues. This suggested that the application of the pGC model can potentially overcome the challenges associated with accurate drug evaluation in preclinical models (e.g., patient-derived xenografts) owing to the deficiency of stromal cells derived from the patient. Consequently, the pGC model manifested a remarkable similarity with patients in terms of response to chemotherapy and prognostic predictability.

  @article{ , abstract = {Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is a critical complication following revascularization therapy for ischemic heart disease. Itaconate, a macrophage-derived metabolite, has been implicated in inflammation and metabolic regulation. This study investigates the protective role of itaconate derivatives against IR injury. Using a mice model of IR injury, the impact of 7-day 4-Octyl itaconate (4-OI) administration on cardiac function is assessed. Exogenous administration of 4-OI significantly reduces myocardial damage, enhances angiogenesis, and alleviates myocardial hypoxia injury during reperfusion. RNA sequencing and molecular docking techniques are used to find the target of itaconate, and changes in cardiac function are observed in Immune-Responsive Gene1 (IRG1) global knockout mice. In cell culture studies, 4-OI promotes endothelial cell proliferation and migration, mediated by Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway activation, particularly through Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK) signaling. Inhibition of ERK blocks these beneficial effects on endothelial cells. Furthermore, itaconate synthesis inhibition worsens myocardial damage, which is mitigated by 4-OI supplementation.

  @article{ , abstract = {The transformation of graphite into diamond (2–10 nm) at ordinary pressure by monodispersed Ta atoms was recently reported, while the effects of Ta concentration on the transition process remain obscure. Here, by regulating the Ta wire treatment time, as well as the annealing time and temperature, larger diamond grians (5–20 nm) are successfully synthesized, and the transition process of graphite to diamond is revealed to vary with Ta concentration. Specifically, short Ta wire treatments (5–10 min) induce graphite to form a “circle” structure and transforms into diamond directly after annealing. Long Ta wire treatments (15–25 min) produce larger and more “circle” structures, containing an increased number of graphite layers. After annealing at 1100 °C for 30–120 min, graphite first transforms into amorphous carbon, then to i-Carbon and n-Diamond, and finally to diamond. Notably, a large amount of n-Diamond and diamond are formed after 120 min annealing. By modulating the annealing temperature from 500 to 1200 °C for 30 min, diamond is already obtained at 500 °C, and hexagonal diamond up to 20 nm in size at 1200 °C.

  @article{ , abstract = {Rice is highly sensitive to cold stress, particularly at the booting stage, which significantly threatens rice production. In this study, we cloned a gene, CTB6 , encoding a lipid transfer protein involved in cold tolerance at the booting stage in rice, based on our previous fine-mapped quantitative trait locus (QTL) qCTB10-2 . CTB6 is mainly expressed in the tapetum and young microspores of the anther. CTB6 interacts with catalases (CATs) to maintain their stability, thereby scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in anthers and facilitating tapetum development under cold stress conditions. Additionally, CTB6 has lipid-binding ability and affects the lipid content in anthers to regulate cold tolerance at the booting stage. Haplotype analysis and promoter activity assay revealed a specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-489 variation in the promoter of CTB6 , which enhances its expression and results in improved cold tolerance in Hap1-K varieties.

  @article{ , abstract = {Podocyte injury and proteinuria in glomerular disease are critical indicators of acute kidney injury progression to chronic kidney disease. Renal mitochondrial dysfunction, mediated by intracellular calcium levels and oxidative stress, is a major contributor to podocyte complications. Despite various strategies targeting mitochondria to improve kidney function, effective treatments remain lacking. This study investigates the potential of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) in mitigating renal fibrosis and elucidates their underlying mechanisms. In animal models of Adriamycin-induced nephropathy and 5/6 subtotal nephrectomy, GQDs treatment exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and anti-apoptotic effects by restoring podocyte actin structure. These therapeutic benefits are associated with the downregulation of transient receptor potential channel 5 (TRPC5) activity, which is related to kidney fibrosis and mitochondrial dysfunction. In vitro, GQDs suppress TRPC5, enhancing anti-fibrotic and anti-apoptotic effects by lowering calcium levels under oxidative stress and mechanical pressure. Anti-oxidative and anti-senescent effects are also confirmed. Most significantly, transcriptomics and electron microscopy analyses reveal that GQD treatment enhances mitochondrial respiration-related gene profiles and improves mitochondrial cristae morphology. These findings suggest that GQDs are a promising therapeutic nanomaterial for renal cell damage, capable of modulating calcium-dependent apoptosis associated with mitochondrial injury, potentially slowing fibrosis progression.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Kyu Hong Kim and Jong Bo Park and Jung Nam An and Gaeun Bae and Kyu Hyeon Kim and Seong Joon Park and Youngjin Jung and Yong Chul Kim and Jung Pyo Lee and Jae Wook Lee and Dong Ki Kim and Yon Su Kim and Byung Hee Hong and Seung Hee Yang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202410747}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {10}, pages = {2410747}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Electrochemical CO 2 reduction in acidic media attracts extensive research attention due to its potential in increasing carbon efficiency. In most reports, alkali cations are introduced to suppress hydrogen evolution and to promote CO 2 reduction. However, the mass transport of alkali cations through cation exchange membrane induces the change of electrolyte compositions. Herein, the variation of electrolyte compositions and the flow of carbon during CO 2 reduction are analyzed quantitatively by simulation and experiments. If the initial amount of alkali cations in the anolyte is higher than the initial amount of H + in the catholyte, the pH of the catholyte increases remarkably in long-term CO 2 reduction electrolysis, resulting in the decrease of carbon efficiency. Bicarbonate salt precipitation on the cathode with alkali cation-containing catholyte is another origin of the decrease of CO 2 reduction Faradaic efficiency and carbon efficiency. To maintain high carbon efficiency, the electrolyte should contain low concentration of alkali cations or even be free of alkali cations. Decorating the catalyst of cathode with ionomer with high density of cation sites enables CO 2 reduction in pure acid solution, achieving 30-h stable carbon efficiency.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xiao-Shuang Zhou and Yi-Yang Bai and Bo Cao and Lin-Feng Yang and Fu-Zhi Li and Hai-Gang Qin and Li-Na Chen and Long Chen and Jun Gu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202410679}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {10}, pages = {2410679}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {In triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), pro-tumoral macrophages promote metastasis and suppress the immune response. To target these cells, a previously identified CD206 (mannose receptor)-binding peptide, mUNO was engineered to enhance its affinity and proteolytic stability. The new rationally designed peptide, MACTIDE, includes a trypsin inhibitor loop, from the Sunflower Trypsin Inhibitor-I. Binding studies to recombinant CD206 revealed a 15-fold lower K D for MACTIDE compared to parental mUNO. Mass spectrometry further demonstrated a 5-fold increase in MACTIDE's half-life in tumor lysates compared to mUNO. Homing studies in TNBC-bearing mice shows that fluorescein (FAM)-MACTIDE precisely targeted CD206 + tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) upon intravenous, intraperitoneal, and even oral administration, with minimal liver accumulation. MACTIDE was conjugated to Verteporfin, an FDA-approved photosensitizer and YAP/TAZ pathway inhibitor to create the conjugate MACTIDE-V. In the orthotopic 4T1 TNBC mouse model, non-irradiated MACTIDE-V-treated mice exhibited anti-tumoral effects comparable to those treated with irradiated MACTIDE-V, with fewer signs of toxicity, prompting further investigation into the laser-independent activity of the conjugate. In vitro studies using bone marrow-derived mouse macrophages showed that MACTIDE-V excluded YAP from the nucleus, increased phagocytic activity, and upregulated several genes associated with cytotoxic anti-tumoral macrophages. In mouse models of TNBC, MACTIDE-V slowed primary tumor growth, suppressed lung metastases, and increased markers of phagocytosis and antigen presentation in TAM and monocytes, increasing the tumor infiltration of several lymphocyte subsets.

Its role and underlying mechanisms were subsequently explored. Bioinformatics and confirmatory experiments revealed that miR-32533 had a novel 23-base sequence with minimal coding potential, functioning within the Drosha ribonuclease III (Drosha)/Dicer 1, ribonuclease III (Dicer)-dependent canonical pathway and identifiable via northern blot. miR-32533 was abundantly brain-distributed and downregulated in diverse AD-related models, including APP/PS1 and five familial AD (5×FAD) mouse brains and AD patient plasma. Overexpression or inhibition of miR-32533 led to improvements or exacerbations in cognitive dysfunction, respectively, by modulating Aβ production, apoptosis, oxidation, and neuroinflammation through targeting cAMP-responsive element binding protein 5 (CREB5), which interacted with α disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10), beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), and presenilin 1 (PS1) promoters, thereby enhancing Aβ production through BACE1 and PS1 upregulation while suppressing non-amyloidogenic amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing via ADAM10 downregulation.

The results show that the exosomes in the untreated group carried plenty of inflammatory cytokines, predominantly C ─ C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2).

In BCL cells, ablation of CAMKIIδ inhibits both lipolysis from lipid droplets and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). With lipolysis blocked, BCL progression is markedly suppressed in two distinct BCL mouse models: MYC-driven EµMyc mice and Myc/Bcl2 double-expressed mice. When CAMKIIδ is present, it destabilizes transcription factor Forkhead Box O3A (FOXO3A) by phosphorylating it at Ser7 and Ser12.

It has been extensively integrated into the fabrication of hologram metasurfaces, metalenses, and sensors due to its procedural simplicity. Most research on PER-NIL has been limited to exploring appropriate materials to enhance the efficiency of imprinted metasurfaces, but the intrinsic issue of PER-NIL lies in the high-index residual layer remaining on the substrate. This high-index residual layer generates undesired noise, limiting the efficiency and functionality of imprinted metasurfaces. Despite the need for the removal of the residual layer, it has never been experimentally achieved owing to the different etching rates between the nanoparticles and resin. Here, a new methodology named tape-assisted PER-NIL is proposed, achieving one-step removal of the residual layer using a tape. This novel method enables the replication of residual layer-free, high-index metasurfaces. As a result, imprinted residual layer-free metasurfaces prove their potential in high-purity dielectric structural colorations by achieving a sharp reflectance peak unattainable with conventional NIL, and in vivid hologram metasurfaces by covering a full 2π phase without unwanted scattering.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yujin Park and Joohoon Kim and Younghwan Yang and Dong Kyo Oh and Hyunjung Kang and Hongyoon Kim and Junsuk Rho}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202409371}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {10}, pages = {2409371}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), a formidable challenge in oncology, demands innovative biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This research highlights the importance of the circular RNA (circRNA) circPCSK6 and its peptide derivative circPCSK6-167aa in ICC. CircPCSK6 is significantly downregulated in both ICC patients and mouse primary ICC models, and its lower expression is linked to adverse prognosis, highlighting its pivotal role in ICC pathogenesis. Functionally, this study elucidates the regulatory effect of circPCSK6-167aa on IκBα ubiquitination within the NF-κB pathway, which is mediated by its competitive binding to the E3 ligase RBBP6. This complex interaction leads to reduced activation of the NF-κB pathway, thereby curbing tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion, stemness, and hepatic-lung metastasis in vivo. This groundbreaking discovery expands the understanding of circRNA-driven tumorigenesis through atypical signaling pathways. Additionally, this investigation identified EIF4A3 as a detrimental regulator of circPCSK6, exacerbating ICC malignancy. Importantly, by leveraging patient-derived xenograft (PDX), organoids, and organoid-derived PDX models, higher levels of circPCSK6-167aa enhance sensitivity to gemcitabine, indicating its potential to improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

  @article{ , abstract = {A previous study classifies solid tumors based on collagen deposition and immune infiltration abundance, identifying a refractory subtype termed armored & cold tumors, characterized by elevated collagen deposition and diminished immune infiltration. Beyond its impact on immune infiltration, collagen deposition also influences tumor angiogenesis. This study systematically analyzes the association between immuno-collagenic subtypes and angiogenesis across diverse cancer types. As a result, armored & cold tumors exhibit the highest angiogenic activity in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics reveal close interactions and spatial co-localization of fibroblasts and endothelial cells. In vitro experiments demonstrate that collagen stimulates tumor cells to express vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and directly enhances vessel formation and endothelial cell proliferation through sex determining region Y box 18 (SOX18) upregulation. Collagen inhibition via multiple approaches effectively suppresses tumor angiogenesis in vivo. In addition, armored & cold tumors display superior responsiveness to anti-angiogenic therapy in advanced LUAD cohorts. Post-immunotherapy resistance, the transformation into armored & cold tumors emerges as a potential biomarker for selecting anti-angiogenic therapy.

  @article{ , abstract = {Lead-free halide double perovskites provide a promising solution for the long-standing issues of lead-containing halide perovskites, i.e., the toxicity of Pb and the low stability under ambient conditions and high-intensity illumination. Their light-to-electricity or thermal-to-electricity conversion is strongly determined by the dynamics of the corresponding lattice vibrations. Here, the measurement of lattice dynamics is presented in a prototypical lead-free halide double perovskite(Cs 2 NaInCl 6 ). The quantitative measurements and first-principles calculations show that the scatterings among lattice vibrations at room temperature are at the timescale of ≈1 ps, which stems from the extraordinarily strong anharmonicity in Cs 2 NaInCl 6 . Further the degree of anharmonicity of each type of atom is quantitatively characterized in the Cs 2 NaInCl 6 single crystal, which stems from the interatomic forces, and demonstrate that this strong anharmonicity is synergistically contributed by the bond hierarchy, the tilting of the NaCl 6 and InCl 6 octahedral units, and the rattling of Cs + ions. Consequently, the crystalline Cs 2 NaInCl 6 possesses an ultralow thermal conductivity of ≈0.43 W mK −1 at room temperature, and a weak temperature dependence of T −0.41 .

  @article{ , abstract = {L-Aspartic acid (L-Asp) poses a dual function, which can affect the evaporation and crystallization process of the high-salinity brine by altering the physical or chemical properties of the salts. MSWI (municipal solid waste incineration) fly ash washing leachate, as a typical high-salinity brine, is utilized here to validate this hypothesis under the simulation guidance. Since L-Asp has stronger adsorption energy on the (110) crystal face of CaCO 3 , L-Asp can facilitate the preferential growth of more valuable vaterite during the softening process (pretreatment before crystallization). Subsequently, the resulting solution undergoes a stable interfacial solar-driven crystallization process under the L-Asp, with a high salt recovery ratio of 0.14 kg m −2 h −1 within 40 h under 1 sun. Finally, to harness the “cradle to grave” full life cycle utilization of washing leachate, the extracted mixed salts are utilized for moisture-enabled electricity generation. L-Asp can significantly enhance this process by reducing the critical relative humidity of mixed salts, thereby exhibiting a stable open circuit potential and short-cut current of ≈ 0.51 V and 10.6 µA within continuous 800 min.

  @article{ , abstract = {3-Hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase 2 (HACD2), an obesity-related gene involved in the elongation of long-chain fatty acids, is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer (PC) and is associated with patient prognosis. Interestingly, the study reveals that HACD2 mediated the proliferation of PC cells in a dehydratase-independent manner, affecting the downstream glycolytic pathway. Mechanistically, HACD2 promotes PC cells proliferation by binding to E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase parkin (PRKN) and enhancing pyruvate kinase PKM (PKM2) dissociation from PRKN, resulting in reduced ubiquitination of PKM2 and increased dimerization of PKM2, which subsequently promote c-Myc expression and tumor growth. Moreover, HACD2 overexpression-induced PC growth is mitigated by knockdown of PKM2 or overexpression of PRKN. Furthermore, the weight loss drug orlistat, which potentially binds to HACD2, disrupted the interaction between HACD2 and PRKN and further increased the ubiquitination of PKM2.

  @article{ , abstract = {Colorectal cancer (CRC) usually creates an immunosuppressive microenvironment, thereby hindering immunotherapy response. Effective treatment options remain elusive. Using scRNA-seq analysis in a tumor-bearing murine model, it is found that lobeline, an alkaloid from the herbal medicine lobelia, promotes polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) toward M1-like TAMs while inhibiting their polarization toward M2-like TAMs. Additionally, lobeline upregulates mRNA expression of secreted Ly-6/UPAR-related protein 1 ( Slurp1 ) in cancer cells. The inhibitory effects of lobeline on tumor load and TAM polarization are almost completely eliminated when Slurp1-deficient MC38 cells are subcutaneously injected into mice, suggesting that lobeline exerts an antitumor effect in a Slurp1-dependent manner. Furthermore, using target-responsive accessibility profiling, MAPK14 is identified as the direct target protein of lobeline. Mechanistically, upon binding to MAPK14 in colon cancer cells, lobeline prevents nuclear translocation of MAPK14, resulting in decreased levels of phosphorylated p53. Consequently, negative transcriptional regulation of SLURP1 by p53 is suppressed, leading to enhanced transcription and secretion of SLURP1.

  @article{ , abstract = {The fungal Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal (BET) protein Bdf1 is a potential antifungal target against invasive fungal infections. However, the need to selectively inhibit both Bdf1 bromodomains (BDs) over human orthologs and the lack of molecular tools to assess on-target antifungal efficacy hamper efforts to develop Bdf1 BD inhibitors as antifungal therapeutics. This study reports a phenyltriazine compound that inhibits both Bdf1 BDs from the human fungal pathogen Candida glabrata with selectivity over the orthologous BDs from the human BET protein Brd4. On-target antifungal activity is established by devising two yeast-based inhibition assays: a growth assay using humanized Candida strains in which the Bdf1 BDs are replaced by their Brd4 counterparts, and a NanoBiT assay that evaluates the BD-mediated association of Bdf1 with chromatin. These assays additionally enable the discovery that BET inhibitor I-BET726 targets both Bdf1 BDs, inhibits the growth of a broad spectrum of Candida species, including antifungal-resistant clinical isolates, and displays efficacy in an invertebrate animal model of infection. These collective findings highlight the promising potential of Bdf1 BD inhibitors as an innovative class of antifungal therapeutics and the pivotal role of yeast-based assay development toward achieving this end.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Kaiyao Wei and Marie Arlotto and Justin M.

  @article{ , abstract = {The initiation of calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stone formation is highly likely to stem from injury to the renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) induced by stimulation from an aberrant urinary environment. CHAC1 plays a critical role in stress response mechanisms by regulating glutathione metabolism. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and ferroptosis are demonstrated to be involved in stone formation. This study attempted to elucidate the mechanism of ER stress-dependent ferroptosis and the role of CHAC1 in CaOx kidney stones. Here, regulating ER stress and CHAC1 expression are performed in in vivo and in vitro stone models. These findings indicated that 4-Phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA)treatment and CHAC1 deficiency alleviated the ferroptotic status, including restoring GSH content, suppressing Fe 2+ and lipid peroxidation accumulation, as well as regulating ferroptosis-related proteins. Notably, 4-PBA treatment and CHAC1 deficiency both attenuated oxidative damage, improved renal function, importantly, decreased crystal deposition. Additionally, ChIP-seq and ChIP-qPCR analyses demonstrated that CHAC1 is the vital downstream target gene of ATF4. The results indicated that ATF4 depletion inhibited the upregulation of CHAC1 and pro-ferroptotic response induced by Ox stimulation. Overall, ATF4/CHAC1 axis mediating ER stress-dependent ferroptosis may be a promising research direction for identifying potential strategy to prevent and treat CaOx kidney stones.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Caitao Dong and Ziqi He and Wenbiao Liao and Qinhong Jiang and Chao Song and Qianlin Song and Xiaozhe Su and Yunhe Xiong and Yunhan Wang and Lingchao Meng and Sixing Yang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202403992}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {3}, number = {10}, pages = {2403992}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Major depressive disorder (MDD) is usually considered associate with immune inflammation and synaptic injury within specific brain regions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the neural deterioration resulting in depression remain unclear. Here, it is found that miR-204-5p is markedly downregulated in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) in a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) induce rat model of depression. Knockdown of miR-204-5p in the vmPFC of normal rats results in depression and anxiety-like behaviors accompanied with the activation of microglia, elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increased numbers of neural apoptotic cells, effects which appear to be mediated by activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Electrophysiological recordings further demonstrate that knockdown of miR-204-5p induces abnormal excitability of pyramidal neurons. In contrast, upregulation of miR-204-5p in the vmPFC of CUMS rats significantly causes inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, improvements in neuronal impairments, and an abolition of the depression and anxiety-like behaviors. Moreover, pharmacological blocking of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway significantly ameliorates abnormal behaviors resulting from miR-204-5p deficiency within the vmPFC.

Here, using Density Functional Theory (DFT)-based crystal structure prediction including zero-point energy, it is that proton superoxide (HO 2 ), the lightest superoxide, can be stabilized energetically at high pressure and temperature conditions. HO 2 is metallic at high pressure, which originates from the 𝜋 * orbitals overlap between adjacent superoxide anions (O 2 − ). By lowering pressure, it undergoes a metal-to-insulator transition similar to LiO 2 . Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) calculations reveal that HO 2 becomes superionic with high electrical conductivity.

Single-cell level primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) atlas supported the rapid, dynamic, and cell-type specific miRNA responses under ABA treatment. MiRNAs respond rapidly and prior to target gene expression dynamics, and these rapid response miRNAs are highly cell-type specific, especially in mesophyll and vascular cells. MiRNA-TF-mRNA regulation modules are identified by identifying miRNA-contained feed-forward loops (M-FFLs) in the regulatory network, and regulatory networks with M-FFLs have higher co-expression and clustering coefficient (CC) values than those without M-FFLs, suggesting the hub role of miRNAs in regulatory networks. The cell-type-specific M-FFLs are regulated by these hub miRNAs rather than TFs through sc-RNA-seq network analysis.

An intermediate phase, often observed between the nonpolar and the ferroelectric nematic phase, shows a distinct antiferroelectric response to electric fields. However, its structure and formation mechanisms remain debated, with flexoelectric and electrostatics effects proposed as competing mechanisms. By controlling the magnitude of electrostatic forces through ion addition in two representative ferroelectric nematic materials, it is shown that the primary mechanism for the emergence of antiferroelectric order is the flexoelectric coupling between electric polarization and splay deformation of the nematic director. The addition of ions significantly expands the temperature range over which the antiferroelectric phase is observed, with this range increasing with increasing ion concentration. Polarizing optical microscopy studies and second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy reveal the splayed structure modulated in 2D, while SHG interferometry confirms its antiferroelectric character.

This progress enables the creation of devices capable of uniquely manipulating light, with applications ranging from optical communications to remote biosensing. Metasurfaces are engineered by rational assembly of subwavelength elements, defined as meta-atoms, giving rise to unique physical properties arising from the collective behavior of meta-atoms. These meta-atoms are typically organized using effective, reproducible, and precise nanofabrication methods that require a lot of effort to achieve scalable and cost-effective metasurfaces. In contrast, bottom–up methods based on colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) have developed in the last decade as a fascinating alternative for accelerating the technological spread of metasurfaces. The present review takes stock of recent advances in the fabrication and applications of hybrid metasurfaces prepared by bottom-up methods, resulting in disordered metasurfaces. In particular, metasurfaces prepared with plasmonic NPs are emphasized for their multifold applications, which are discussed from a biotechnology perspective.

In this work, a yolk–shell Al 2 O 3 micro-reactor is developed to enhance the catalytic hydrolysis performance of CF 4 by creating a local autothermic environment.

The effectiveness of this local autothermic environment is experimentally confirmed by in situ Raman spectroscopy.

The expression of ACE2 correlates negatively with the degree of NPC senescence and IVDD. Using both loss- and gain-of-function mouse models, it is revealed that ACE2 deficiency increased the senescence of NPCs and exacerbated injury- or instability-induced IVDD, whereas ACE2 overexpression counteracted these detrimental effects. Mechanistically, integrated analysis of single-cell and bulk transcriptomics shows that ACE2 deficiency results in the activation of TGFβ2/Smads signaling pathway and the transcription of Serpine1, ultimately triggering NPC senescence and IVDD.

  @article{ , abstract = {Despite their safety and widespread use, conventional protein antigen-based subunit vaccines face significant challenges such as low immunogenicity, insufficient long-term immunity, poor CD8 + T-cell activation, and poor adaptation to viral variants. To address these issues, an infection-mimicking gel (IM-Gel) is developed that is designed to emulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of immune stimulation in acute viral infections through in situ supramolecular self-assembly of nanoparticulate-TLR7/8a (NP-TLR7/8a) and an antigen with tannic acid (TA). Through collagen-binding properties of TA, the IM-Gel enables sustained delivery and enhanced retention of NP-TLR7/8a and protein antigen in the lymph node subcapsular sinus of mice for over 7 days, prolonging the exposure of vaccine components in both B cell and T cell zones, leading to robust humoral and cellular responses. The IM-Gel system with the influenza A antigen confers cross-protection against multiple influenza subtypes (H1N1, H5N2, H3N2, H7N3, and H9N2) with long-term immune responses. Combination of the IM-Gel with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein also elicits strong cross-reactive antibody responses against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants (Alpha, Beta, NY510+D614G, Gamma, Kappa, and Delta).

  @article{ , abstract = {Microbial transmission from mother to infant is important for offspring microbiome formation and health. However, it is unclear whether maternal gut inflammation (MGI) during lactation influences mother-to-infant microbial transmission and offspring microbiota and disease susceptibility. In this study, it is found that MGI during lactation altered the gut microbiota of suckling pups by shaping the maternal microbiota in the gut and mammary glands. MGI-induced changes in the gut microbiota of suckling pups lasted into adulthood, resulting in the exacerbation of acute liver failure (ALF) caused by acetaminophen (APAP) in offspring. Specifically, MGI reduced the abundance of Lactobacillus reuteri ( L. reuteri ) and its metabolite indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) level in adult offspring. L. reuteri and IAA alleviated ALF in mice by promoting intestinal IL-22 production. Mechanistically, IL-22 limits APAP-induced excessive oxidative stress and ferroptosis by activating STAT3. The intestinal abundances of L. reuteri and IAA are inversely associated with the progression of patients with ALF.

  @article{ , abstract = {Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) is a major zoonotic pathogen, with mammary gland infections contributing to mastitis, a condition that poses significant health risks to lactating women and adversely affects the dairy industry. Therefore, understanding the immune mechanisms underlying mammary infections caused by S. aureus is essential for developing targeted therapeutic strategies against mastitis. This study identified hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCAR2) as a potential regulator of S. aureus infection in mammary glands. It is demonstrated that HCAR2 deficiency exacerbates the inflammatory response and disrupts the blood-milk barrier in the mammary gland during S. aureus infection, with NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis playing a central role. Activation of HCAR2, on the other hand, suppressed CMPK2 expression, thereby mitigating mitochondrial damage and pyroptosis in mouse mammary epithelial cells (mMECs) induced by S. aureus . Additionally, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) released from S. aureus -infected mMECs activates the cGAS/STING signaling pathway in macrophages, impairing their bactericidal activity.

LCF-CSBN is internalized by M1 macrophages via CD44-mediated endocytosis and targets the Golgi apparatus accompanied with the reactive oxygen species-responsive release of licofelone (LCF, dual inhibitor of arachidonic acid metabolism). LCF-CSBN effectively promotes M1 to M2 macrophage transition by reprogramming the Golgi apparatus-related sphingolipid metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism.

Infections with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (STm) have different outcomes between organisms. 3D tissue modeling of primary human material provides alternatives to animal experimentation, but epithelial co-culture with immune cells remains difficult. Macrophages, for instance, contribute to the immunocompetence of native tissue, yet their incorporation into human epithelial tissue models is challenging. A 3D immunocompetent tissue model of the human small intestine based on decellularized submucosa enriched with monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) is established. The multicellular model recapitulated in vivo-like cellular diversity, especially the induction of GP2 positive microfold (M) cells. Infection studies with STm reveal that the pathogen physically interacts with these M-like cells. MDMs show trans-epithelial migration and phagocytosed STm within the model and the levels of inflammatory cytokines are induced upon STm infection. Infected epithelial cells are shed into the supernatant, potentially reflecting an intracellular reservoir of invasion-primed STm.

Mechanistically, BPA upregulates Srebf1, which in turn promotes the Pparg-dependent transcription of Dicer1 in spermatocytes, increasing the levels of multiple sperm microRNAs (miRNAs). Several of these miRNAs are highly expressed in a synchronized manner in liver of the offspring. miR149-5p, miR150-5p, and miR700-5p target a specific region in the Lepr 3′UTR, termed “SMITE” (“ S everal Mi RNAs T argeting E lements”), to negatively regulate Lepr.

  @article{ , abstract = {Skeletal muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) is a serious complication of liver cirrhosis, and chronic muscle inflammation plays a pivotal role in its pathologenesis. However, the detailed mechanism through which injured liver tissues mediate skeletal muscle inflammatory injury remains elusive. Here, it is reported that injured hepatocytes might secrete mtDNA-enriched extracellular vesicles (EVs) to trigger skeletal muscle inflammation by activating the cGAS-STING pathway. Briefly, injured liver secreted increased amounts of EVs into circulation, which are then engulfed primarily by macrophages in skeletal muscle and subsequently induce cGAS-STING signaling and its-mediated inflammatory response in muscles. In contrast, suppression of hepatic EV secretion or STING signaling significantly alleviated cirrhosis-induced skeletal muscle inflammation and muscle atrophy in vivo. Circulating EVs from cirrhotic patients showed higher levels of mtDNA, and the levels of EV-mtDNA positively correlated with the severity of liver injury. In injured hepatocytes, mitochondrial damage promoted the release of cytosolic mtDNA and the subsequent secretion of mtDNA-enriched EVs.

Zn 2+ plays a crucial role in bone formation, but excessive early release may cause cytotoxicity and inhibit osseointegration. To solve this, we developed a near-infrared (NIR) light-controlled polycaprolactone/copper-sulfur (PCL/CuS) coating that slows degradation and enhances osseointegration of Zn alloys. The zinc–lithium (Zn–Li) substrate is encapsulated with PCL, reducing Zn 2+ release and maintaing biocompatibility. Controlled Zn 2+ release and mild photothermal therapy via CuS nanoparticles promoted osteogenesis. In vitro studies demonstrated enhanced cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. In vivo Micro-Computed Tomography (Micro-CT), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed improved osseointegration. Mechanistic studies using RNA sequencing and Western blotting revealed that the coating promotes osteogenesis by activating the Wnt/β-catenin and inhibiting NF-κB pathways.

Herein, a supramolecular engineering strategy to construct moringin (MOR) loaded α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) coated nanoceria (M@CCNP) is constructed, where the hydroxy and newly formed carbonyl groups of α-CD interact with the nanoceria surface via O─Ce conjunction and the isothiocyanate group of MOR inserts deeply into the α-CD cavity via host–guest interaction. By exploiting the recycling reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capability of nanoceria and the anti-inflammation properties of MOR, the two-level strike during AMD pathogenesis can be precisely blocked by M@CCNP. Remarkably, excellent therapeutic efficacy to CNV is observed in vivo, achieving over 80% reduction in neovascularization and over 60% reduction in leakage area.

Here, a novel multi-material electrohydrodynamic printing (EHDP) strategy is proposed to fabricate bioelectronics with sub-microscale 3D gold pillars for in vitro electrophysiological recordings.

Laser-assisted EHDP is developed to produce 3D gold pillars featuring a diameter of 0.64 ± 0.04 µm. The 3D gold pillars demonstrate stable conductivity under the cell-culture environment. Living cells can conformally grow onto these sub-microscale 3D pillars with a height below 5 µm, which facilitates the highly-sensitive recording of extracellular signals with amplitudes <15 µV. The 3D pillars can apply electroporation currents to reversibly open the cellular membrane for intracellular recording, facilitating the measurement of subtle cellular electrophysiological activities. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, fully-printed chips with multiple culturing chambers and sensing bioelectronics are fabricated for zone-specific electrophysiological recording in drug testing.

Disruption of ciliary function has been implicated in neuronal circuit disorders and aberrant neuronal excitability. However, the precise mechanisms remain elusive. To study the link between the primary cilia and neuronal excitability, manipulation of somatostatin receptor 3 (SSTR3) is investigated, as an example of how alterations in ciliary signaling may affect neuronal activity. It is found that aberrant SSTR3 expression perturbed not only ciliary morphology but also disrupted ciliary signaling cascades. Genetic deletion of SSTR3 resulted in perturbed spatial memory and synaptic plasticity. The axon initial segment (AIS) is a specialized region in the axon where action potentials are initiated. Interestingly, loss of ciliary SSTR3 led to decrease of Akt-dependent cyclic AMP-response element binding protein (CREB)-mediated transcription at the AIS, specifically downregulating AIS master organizer adaptor protein ankyrin G (AnkG) expression.

The comprehensive characterizations reveal that the incorporation of Mn atoms leads to a Mn-N 2 O 2 coordinating structure, resulting in five significant effects: an increase in sp 2 conjugation domains, a reduction in band gap, a decreased oxidation level, an increase in photo-excited electron numbers, and the suppression of non-radiative electron relaxation pathways.

  @article{ , abstract = {Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key factor in exacerbating pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and is linked to increased morbidity and mortality. ECSIT, a crucial adaptor for inflammation and mitochondrial function, has been reported to express multiple transcripts in various species and tissues, leading to distinct protein isoforms with diverse subcellular localizations and functions. However, whether an unknown ECSIT isoform exists in cardiac cells and its potential role in regulating mitochondrial function and pathological cardiac hypertrophy has remained unclear. This study identified a 42-kDa ECSIT isoform encoded by the transcript variant Ecsit-X4, which is highly expressed in the mitochondria of adult cardiomyocytes but down-regulated in hypertrophic human heart samples and TAC-treated mouse hearts. AAV9-mediated Ecsit-X4 gene therapy, administered either before or after TAC surgery, significantly attenuated cardiac hypertrophy. Cardiomyocyte-specific Ecsit deficiency worsened TAC-induced cardiac hypertrophy, while Ecsit-X4 compensation independently rescued hypertrophic phenotypes in Ecsit cKO mice. Mechanistically, ECSIT-X4 localized to the mitochondria and interacted with STAT3, leading to increased STAT3 levels and enhanced serine 727 phosphorylation in cardiomyocyte mitochondria, thereby promoting strong mitochondrial bioenergetics. This study identified a novel transcript variant of ECSIT localized in the mitochondria of adult cardiomyocytes and highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for heart failure.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xia Lu and Tingting Tong and Haoliang Sun and Yi Chen and Yongfeng Shao and Pengxi Shi and Linli Que and Li Liu and Guoqing Zhu and Qi Chen and Chuanfu Li and Jiantao Li and Shuo Yang and Yuehua Li}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202414358}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {8}, pages = {2414358}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Regulation of the immune response is key to promoting bone regeneration by electroactive biomaterials. However, how electrical signals at the micro- and nanoscale regulate the immune response and subsequent angiogenesis during bone regeneration remains to be elucidated. Here, the distinctly different surface potential distributions on charged poly(vinylidene fluoridetrifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) matrix surfaces are established by altering the dimensions of ferroelectric nanofillers from 0D BaTiO 3 nanoparticles (homogeneous surface potential distribution, HOPD) to 1D BaTiO 3 nanofibers (heterogeneous surface potential distribution, HEPD). Compared to HOPD, HEPD is significantly better at inducing the M2 polarization of macrophages and promoting neovascularization, which results in accelerated bone regeneration in vivo. The transcriptomic analysis reveals that macrophages modulated by HEPD display high expression levels of pro-angiogenic genes, which is corroborated by tube-formation assays, RT-qPCR, and western blot analyses in vitro. Mechanistic explorations elucidate activation of the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, which in turn induces the polarization of macrophages toward a pro-angiogenic phenotype. This study elucidates the cascade of biological processes by which heterogeneous electrical signals at the micro- and nanoscale modulate macrophage functions to promote vascularization and bone regeneration.

However, small interparticle distances often limit the range of reversible color shifts and reduce reflectivity during a blueshift.

Photonic composites are initially prepared with silica particle arrays embedded in an elastomer matrix at volume fractions of 0.35–0.5. To increase interparticle distance, the composites are immersed in an elastomer-forming monomer, causing the matrix to swell, followed by photopolymerization, thereby producing liquid-free composites. The degree of swelling is controllable up to 3.16, depending on monomer choice, matrix volume fraction, and crosslinking density. The process can be repeated to further increase swelling up to 10.36. This method can reduce the volume fraction of silica particles from 40% to 3.8%, while interparticle distance increases from 53 to 257 nm.

Mesenchymal stem cells-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSC-sEVs) have shown anti-inflammatory effects in OA models, while persistent existence of senescent chondrocytes still promotes cartilage destruction. Therefore, improving the targeted elimination ability on senescent chondrocytes is required to facilitate the translation of MSC-sEVs in OA treatment. In this study, versatile engineered MSC-sEVs are developed to targetedly clear senescent chondrocytes and maintain cartilage metabolic homeostasis. Specifically, MSC-sEVs are loaded with siRNA mouse double minute 2 homologue (siMDM2) and modified with cartilage-targeting peptide WYRGRL-PEG 2K -DSPE (WPD), named WPD-sEVs siMDM2 . The results demonstrate versatile modification improves the cellular uptake of MSC-sEVs in chondrocytes, and thus improves the antiaging effects. Importantly, multifunctional modification enhances cartilage penetration ability and extends joint retention time of MSC-sEVs. In both post-traumatic OA mice and naturally aged mice, WPD-sEVs siMDM2 more effectively eliminates senescent chondrocytes and maintained matrix metabolic homeostasis. By using the P53 phosphorylation inhibitor, the essential role MDM2-P53 pathway in the antiaging function of WPD-sEVs siMDM2 on chondrocytes is verified.

  @article{ , abstract = {Pancreatic cancer (PC) progresses rapidly, and gemcitabine-based chemotherapy has brought only limited efficacy. Identifying key drivers and therapeutic targets holds significant clinical value. In this study, through comprehensive analysis of multiple PC databases, this work identifies TRIM21 as a promising driver mediator. This work further performs loss- and gain-of-function assays for TRIM21, revealing that TRIM21 knockout inhibits tumor proliferation and gemcitabine resistance both in vitro and vivo. Lipidomics reveal that silencing TRIM21 reduce the arachidonic acid production, and inhibit ferroptosis. Mechanically, through proteomics, ubiquitomics, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis, the key metabolic enzyme of arachidonic acid -EPHX1 is identified as a downstream substrate of TRIM21. TRIM21 interacts with EPHX1 through its SPRY domain and promotes ubiquitin-mediated degradation of EPHX1 via K33- and K48-linked ubiquitination at the K105 site. Given the targeting potential, this work screens Bezafibrate to block the interaction between TRIM21 and EPHX1 and validates its sensitizing effect.

Here, inspired by the process of cofactor NADPH regeneration in photosystem I (PSI), catalyst-modified photocathodes are constructed on the surface of polythiophene-based semiconductors ( PTTH ) via self-assembly for photoelectrochemical catalytic NADH regeneration. With the assistance of viologen ( vi 2+ ) electron transfer mediators (similar function as Ferredoxin in PSI) linked to the [Rh(Cp * )(bpy)] catalyst, the Rh-vi 2+ @PTTH photocathode exhibits higher photocurrent density (−665 µA cm −2 ) with a high apparent turnover frequency (TOF, 168.4 h −1 ) under a relatively positive potential (0.0 V vs RHE). In addition, through holistic functional mimics of the photosystem, a tandem photoelectrochemical cell is constructed by assembling a CoPi@BiVO 4 photoanode (artificial photosystem II, PSII) with the Rh-vi 2+ @PTTH photocathode. This system achieves a production rate of 42.5 µ m h −1 cm −2 and a TOF of 179.3 h −1 without an externally applied bias for NADH regeneration.

  @article{ , abstract = {Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S)-mediated protein S-sulfhydration has been shown to play critical roles in several diseases. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the predominant population of immune cells present within solid tumor tissues, and they function to restrict antitumor immunity. However, no previous study has investigated the role of protein S-sulfhydration in TAM reprogramming in breast cancer (BC). Therefore, the aim is to investigate whether protein S-sulfhydration can regulate TAM reprogramming and its underlying mechanism in BC. The results showed that in BC, the CTH-H 2 S axis is positively correlated with the presence of an anti-tumor phenotype in TAMs. NaHS, as an H 2 S donor, repolarized TAMs into M1 macrophages to block the tumor-promoting activities of TAMs both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, H 2 S-mediated S-sulfhydration of the protein chaperone glucose-regulated-protein 78 (GRP78) induced endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane protein kinase-1α (IRE-1α) dissociation from GRP78, which enhanced the phosphatase activity of IRE-1α itself in BC-TAMs, while the Cys420 site mutation of GRP78 interfered with these effects. Collectively, GRP78 S-sulfhydrylation mediated by H 2 S at the Cys420 residue decreased the tumor burden and inhibited lung metastasis of BC through reprograming TAMs via activating the IRE-1α pathway, indicating that targeting GRP78 S-sulfhydration represents a promising intervention for TAM-M1 repolarization in BC.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Mingyi Ju and Weiwei Tong and Jia Bi and Xianxin Zeng and Aoshuang Qi and Mingli Sun and Jian Wen and Lin Zhao and Minjie Wei}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202413607}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {8}, pages = {2413607}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Specifically, tetra[4-(amino)piperidin-1-yl]-C 60 (TAPC) is selected as the representative aminated fullerene, and a layer-by-layer assembly strategy is designed to controllably assemble TAPC with the negatively charged HFn into a hierarchical coassembly (H@T@H) via electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds. In this ordered multilayer structure, the surface displayed HFn endows the inner TAPC with biocompatibility, tumor-targeting and blood-brain barrier crossing ability. Additionally, the electrostatic assembly mode enables the acid-responsive disassembly of H@T@H to release TAPC in lysosomes.

Using CsPbBr x I 3- x @AlPO-5 ( x = 0, 1, 2, 3) as a model OER catalyst, it is found that the CsPbBr 3 @AlPO-5 behaves oxygen-intercalation pseudocapacitance during surface restructuring due to absence of halogen-ion migration and phase separation in the CsPbBr 3 , achieving a larger diffusion rate of OH − within the core-shell structure. Moreover, distinct from the single-metal-site mechanism of MAPbBr 3 @AlPO-5, experimental and theoretical investigations reveal that the soft lattice nature of CsPbBr 3 triggers the oxygen-vacancy-site mechanism via the CsPbBr 3 /α-PbO 2 interface, resulting in excellent OER performance. Owing to the variety and easy tailoring of lead-halide perovskite compositions, these findings pave a way for the development of novel perovskite@zeolite type catalysts for efficient oxygen electrocatalysis.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xiangrong Ren and Yiyue Zhai and Na Yang and Bolun Wang and Shengzhong (Frank) Liu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202412679}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {8}, pages = {2412679}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Graphene aerogels (GAs) with engineered architectures are a promising material for applications ranging from filtration to energy storage/conversion. However, current preparation approaches involve the combination of multiple intrinsically-different methodologies to achieve graphene-synthesis and architecture-engineering, complicating the entire procedure. Here, a novel approach to prepare GAs with engineered architectures based on the laser-upcycling of protein biowaste, hemoglobin, is introduced. Laser scanning achieves graphene-synthesis concurrently with architecture-engineering through the localized graphitization of hemoglobin along the laser-scan path, enabling the direct preparation of engineered GAs. The laser-upcycled GAs are uniquely decorated with fibrous graphitic structures, which significantly improves the surface area. Such structural formation is attributable to the inherent iron content of hemoglobin which leads to the formation of iron-based nanoparticles that catalyze the formation of nano-structured graphene. By leveraging the high electrical conductivity and unique structural morphology, the laser-upcycled GAs are applied as electrodes of symmetrical 3D supercapacitors. The fabricated supercapacitors exhibited a high specific capacitance (≈54.9 F g −1 ) and excellent cycle stability (≈94% retention), attributable to the laser-engineered architecture facilitating ion diffusion even for thick electrodes. Not only does this study provide a novel approach to prepare GAs with engineered architectures but showcases the potential of laser-upcycling in preparing advanced functional materials for future devices.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Shuichiro Hayashi and Marco Rupp and Jason X.

  @article{ , abstract = {Sigal peptides have garnered remarkable efficacy in rejuvenating photoaged skin and delaying senescence. Nevertheless, their low solubility and poor permeability bring about a formidable challenge in their transdermal delivery. To address this challenge, bioactive ionic liquids (ILs) synthesized from natural glycyrrhizic acid (GA) and oxymatrine (OMT) with eminent biocompatibility is first prepared. The components ratios and inherent forming mechanisms of GA-OMT (GAO) are optimized by molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations. Remarkably, GAO can significantly improve the sparingly soluble properties of palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 (PAL-4), a model peptide drug. Subsequently, GAO self-assembled micelles loading PAL-4 (GAO/PAL-4-SM) are fabricated without additional auxiliary materials. The permeation and subcutaneous retention of PAL-4 are significantly promoted with 10wt.% GAO-SM. Moreover, GAO ILs facilitated PAL-4 permeation by enhancing its miscibility and interaction with stratum corneum (SC), offering a pulling effect and micellar structures for PAL-4, as elucidated by computational simulations. In cellular and animal photoaging experiments, GAO/PAL-4-SM possessed remarkable capabilities in boosting collagen and hyaluronic acid regeneration, mitigating inflammation and apoptosis, accelerating macrophage M2 polarization, thereby lessening skin wrinkles and leveraging elasticity.

Herein, the simultaneously emergency treatment and dynamic luminescence severity assessment (SETLSA) strategy is designed for SCI based on cerium (Ce)-doped upconversion antioxidant nanoenzymes (Ce@UCNP-BCH). Ce@UCNP-BCH can not only efficiently eliminate the SCI localized ROS, but dynamically monitor the oxidative state in the SCI repair process using a ratiometric luminescence signal. Moreover, the classic basso mouse scale score and immunofluorescence analysis together exhibit that Ce@UCNP-BCH effectively facilitates the regeneration of spinal cord including myelin sheath, and promotes the functional recovery of SCI mice. Particularly, the study combines snATAC-eq and snRNA-seq to reveal the heterogeneity of spinal cord tissue following Ce@UCNP-BCH treatment. The findings reveal a significant increase in myelinating oligodendrocytes, as well as higher expression of myelination-related genes, and the study also reveals the gene regulatory dynamics of remyelination after treatment.

Using a droplet-based microfluidic system, the cellular core/sheath filament using octadecane (OD) as a temperature-responsive volume-changing material to form droplet cellular cores within the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) sheath is fabricated. It is found that the fabric made of TATF has a remarkable temperature adaptive thermal conductivity, which increases by 83% as the mean fabric temperature increases from 20 °C to 35 °C, due to the volume change of vacuum cavities in the cellular cores of the filament in response to temperature.

The industrial production of ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3 ) is environmentally detrimental due to its reliance on fossil fuels. This study introduces an innovative air-to-NOx-to-NH 4 NO 3 pathway for synthesizing liquid nitrogen fertilizer. The process employs an underwater multi-bubble plasma reactor powered by nanosecond pulse to generate aqueous NOx, which is then partially reduced to NH 4 NO 3 through electrocatalysis. Results show that the highest NOx production rate, 786.5 mol h −1 , is achieved when the N 2 /O 2 ratio closely resemble that of air, and short pulse rise/fall times significantly increase NOx yield. Further plasma diagnostic and global plasma chemistry modeling indicate that short rise/fall times facilitate simultaneous dielectric barrier discharge and spark discharge, synergistically enhancing nitrogen fixation efficiency. The partially electro-reduced liquid NH 4 NO 3 fertilizer significantly improves plant growth, with stem length and leaf length increasing by 91.26% and 54.72%, respectively. Cost estimation reveals that 44.22% of the production cost is attributed to electricity consumption, underscoring the potential for optimization with renewable energy integration.

  @article{ , abstract = {The development of the mammalian neocortex is precisely regulated by temporal gene expression, yet the temporal regulatory mechanisms of cortical neurogenesis, particularly how radial glial cells (RGCs) sequentially generate deep to superficial neurons, remain unclear. Here, the hnRNP family member Syncrip (hnRNP Q) is identified as a key modulator of superficial neuronal differentiation in neocortical neurogenesis. Syncrip knockout in RGCs disrupts differentiation and abnormal neuronal localization, ultimately resulting in superficial cortical layer defects as well as learning and memory impairments in mice. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis demonstrated that the knockout of Syncrip disrupts the late-stage neurogenesis, stalling transcriptional progression in RGCs. Mechanistically, Syncrip maintains the transcription of temporal process-related transcription factors by recruiting stabilization complexes through phase separation, crucially regulating the Notch signaling pathway that determines the fate of RGCs. Furthermore, pathogenic human mutations in Syncrip weaken its phase-separation capability, failing to form stable complexes normally. Thus, Syncrip acts as a mediator of posttranscriptional regulatory mechanisms, governing the fate progression of RGCs and the advancement of intrinsic temporal programs. This study establishes an intracellular mechanism for posttranscriptional regulation of progressive fate determination in cortical neurogenesis.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jiarui Wu and Haoyang Yu and Xinyi Dou and Bin Yin and Lin Hou and Yuanchao Xue and Boqin Qiang and Pengcheng Shu and Xiaozhong Peng}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202411732}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {8}, pages = {2411732}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Intestinal fibrosis, a severe complication of Crohn's disease (CD), is linked to chronic inflammation, but the precise mechanism by which immune-driven intestinal inflammation leads to fibrosis development is not fully understood. This study investigates the role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in intestinal fibrosis in CD patients and a 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced mouse model. Elevated MDSCs are observed in inflamed intestinal tissues prior to fibrosis and their sustained presence in fibrotic tissues of both CD patients and murine models. Depletion of MDSCs significantly reduces fibrosis, highlighting their key role in the fibrotic process. Mechanistically, MDSC-derived mCCL6 activates fibroblasts via the CCR1-MAPK signaling, and interventions targeting this axis, including neutralizing antibodies, a CCR1 antagonist, or fibroblast-specific Ccr1 knockout mice reduce fibrosis. In CD patients with stenosis, human CCL15, analogous to mCCL6, is found to be elevated in MDSCs and activated fibroblasts. Additionally, CXCR2 and CCR2 ligands are identified as key mediators of MDSC recruitment in intestinal fibrosis. Blocking MDSC recruitment with CXCR2 and CCR2 antagonists alleviates intestinal fibrosis.

The obtained samples are characterized by stereospecific L-/D-/Rac-chiral hierarchical morphology, nanotopography rough surfaces, improved hydrophilicity, and bioactivity. Following implantation into rat femoral condyle defects, the distinct stereospecific chiral hierarchical structures exhibit highly enantioselective bone-implants interactions, wherein the left-handed chirality of L-CHA strongly promotes osteoporotic osseointegration and vice versa for right-handed chirality of D-CHA. Consistently, in vitro assays further validate the superior enantiomer-dependent osteoporotic osseointegration ability of L-CHA, mainly by manipulating desired immunomodulation coupled with enhanced neurogenesis, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. Moreover, as analyzed by transcriptomic RNA-seq, a new discovery of down-regulated IL-17 signaling pathway is considered predominately responsible for the desired immunomodulation ability of L-CHA.

  @article{ , abstract = {Mild hyperthermia therapy has garnered interest as an adjunctive treatment for bone repair. However, its optimal timing, duration, and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, how mild hyperthermia supports bone repair during the early stages is assesed. These findings reveal that mild hyperthermia accelerates bone regeneration by dynamically regulating inducible nitric oxide synthase/arginase 1 (iNOS/Arg1) balance. This process involves macrophage polarization to the M1 phenotype through iNOS activation, followed by a rapid transition to the M2 phenotype through Arg1 activation after 3 days of sustained mild hyperthermia. RNA-Seq reveals that a single day of mild hyperthermia induced immune alterations aligned with the early inflammatory phase of bone repair, characterized by osteoclast activation, cell recruitment, and neovascularization, thereby preparing for the transition to the repair phase. Experiments involving subcutaneous abscesses, subcutaneous embedding, and critical cranial bone defects further confirm that early mild hyperthermia treatment dynamically regulates macrophage phenotypes. This regulation enhances early antibacterial activity, promotes angiogenesis, and facilitates the transition from inflammation to repair, ultimately accelerating bone-defect repair.

  @article{ , abstract = {Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a highly heterogeneous neurodevelopmental malformation, the underlying mechanisms of which remain largely elusive. In this study, personalized dorsal and ventral forebrain organoids (DFOs/VFOs) are generated derived from brain astrocytes of patients with FCD type II (FCD II). The pathological features of dysmorphic neurons, balloon cells, and astrogliosis are successfully replicated in patient-derived DFOs, but not in VFOs. It is noteworthy that cardiomyocyte-like cells correlated with dysmorphic neurons are generated through the high activation of BMP and WNT signaling in some of the FCD-organoids and patient cortical tissues. Moreover, functional assessments demonstrated the occurrence of epileptiform burst firing and propagative self-assembling neuronal hyperactivity in both FCD-DFOs and VFOs. Additionally, the heterotopic cardiomyocyte-organoids demonstrated the capacity for cardiomyocyte contraction and rhythmic firing. The presence of these cardiomyocytes contributes to the hyperactivity of neural networks in cardioids-DFOs assembly. In conclusion, the personalized region-specific forebrain organoids derived from FCD patient astrocytes effectively recapitulate heterogeneous pathological features, offering a valuable platform for the development of precise therapeutic strategies.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jinhong Xu and Yufei Kong and Nawen Wang and Huijuan Li and Yunteng Li and Zhuo Liu and Yuling Yang and Xiao Yu and Huihui Liu and Jing Ding and Yi Wang and Rui Zhao and Zhicheng Shao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202409774}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {8}, pages = {2409774}, shortjournal = {Adv.

The introduced amide groups from N-Vinylformamide significantly reinforce the 2D nanochannels within the freestanding membranes, resulting in an ultrahigh tensile strength of up to 105 MPa. The d-spacing of the membrane is controllably tuned within a range of 0.799–1.410 nm, resulting in a variable water permeance of up to 218 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 (1304% higher than that of the pristine GO membranes). In particular, the tailored membranes demonstrate excellent water permeance stability (140 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 ) in a 200-h long-term operation and high selectivity of solutes under harsh conditions, including a wide range of pH from 4.0 to 10.0, up to a loading pressure of 12 bar and an external temperature of 40 °C.

  @article{ , abstract = {Denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) are the major microbial processes responsible for global nitrogen (N) loss. Yet, the relative contributions of denitrification and anammox to N loss across contrasting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems worldwide remain unclear, hampering capacities to predict the human alterations in the global N cycle. Here, a global synthesis including 3240 observations from 199 published isotope pairing studies is conducted and finds that denitrification governs microbial N loss globally (79.8±0.4%). Significantly, anammox is more important in aquatic than terrestrial ecosystems worldwide and can contribute up to 43.2% of N loss in global seawater. Global maps for N loss associated with denitrification and anammox are further generated and show that the contribution of anammox to N loss decreases with latitude for soils and sediments but generally increases with substrate depth. This work highlights the importance of anammox as well as denitrification in driving ecosystem N losses, which is critical for improving the current global N cycle model and achieving sustainable N management.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Gang He and Danli Deng and Manuel Delgado-Baquerizo and Wenzhi Liu and Quanfa Zhang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202406857}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {8}, pages = {2406857}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) accounts for about 90% of esophageal cancer cases. The lack of effective therapeutic targets makes it difficult to improve the overall survival of patients with ESCC. Reticulon 4 Interacting Protein 1 (RTN4IP1) is a novel mitochondrial oxidoreductase. Here, a notable upregulation of RTN4IP1 is demonstrated, which is associated with poor survival in patients with ESCC. RTN4IP1 depletion impairs cell proliferation and induces apoptosis of ESCC cells. Furthermore, c-Myc regulates RTN4IP1 expression via iron regulatory protein 2 (IRP2) at the post-transcriptional level. Mechanistically, RTN4IP1 mRNA harbors functional iron-responsive elements (IREs) in the 3′ UTR, which can be targeted by IRP2, resulting in increased mRNA stability. Finally, RTN4IP1 depletion abrogates amino acid uptake and induces amino acid starvation via downregulation of the amino acid transporters SLC1A5, SLC3A2, and SLC7A5, indicating a possible pathway through which RTN4IP1 contributes to ESCC carcinogenesis and progression. In vivo studies using cell-derived xenograft and patient-derived xenograft mouse models as well as a 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide-induced ESCC model in esophageal-specific Rtn4ip1 knockout mice demonstrate the essential role of RTN4IP1 in ESCC development.

Accordingly, this article critically reviews the design principles, structure-mechanism-property relationships, interaction mechanisms, and multifunctional applications of multi-physical lattice metamaterials enabled by AM techniques. First, lattice metamaterials are categorized into homogeneous lattices, inhomogeneous lattices, and other forms, whose design principles and AM processes are critically discussed, including the benefits and drawbacks of different AM techniques for fabricating different types of lattices. Subsequently, the structure–mechanism–property relationships and interaction mechanisms of lattice metamaterials in a range of physical fields, including mechanical, acoustic, electromagnetic/optical, and thermal disciplines, are summarized to reveal critical design principles. Moreover, the multifunctional applications of lattice metamaterials, such as sound absorbers, insulators, and manipulators, sensors, actuators, and soft robots, thermal management, invisible cloaks, and biomedical implants, are enumerated.

  @article{ , abstract = {Neuropathic pain, one of the most refractory pain diseases, remains a formidable medical challenge. There is still an unmet demand for effective and safe therapies to address this condition. Herein, a rat model of nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain is first established to explore its pathophysiological characteristics. Recognizing the role of neuroinflammation, an inflammation-resolving amphiphilic conjugate PPT is designed and synthesized by simultaneously conjugating polyethylene glycol, phenylboronic acid pinacol ester, and Tempol onto a cyclic scaffold. PPT can self-assemble into nanomicelles (termed PPTN). Following intravenous injection, PPTN preferentially accumulates in the injured nerve, ameliorates the neuroinflammatory milieu, and promotes nerve regeneration, thereby shortening neuropathic pain duration in rats. Moreover, the Ca 2+ channel α2δ1 subunit is identified as a therapeutic target by RNA-sequencing analysis of the injured nerve. Based on this target, a mimicking peptide (AD peptide) is screened as an analgesic. By packaging AD peptide into PPTN, a combination nano-analgesic APTN is developed. Besides potentiated anti-hyperalgesic effects due to site-specific delivery and on-demand release of AD peptide at target sites, APTN simultaneously inhibits neuroinflammation and promotes nerve regeneration by reprogramming macrophages via regulating MAPK/NF-kB signaling pathways and NLRP3 inflammasome activation, thus affording synergistic efficacies in treating nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Wenkai Wang and Yan Wang and Xinle Huang and Peng Wu and Lanlan Li and Yang Zhang and Yihui Chen and Zhiyu Chen and Changqing Li and Yue Zhou and Jianxiang Zhang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202405483}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {8}, pages = {2405483}, shortjournal = {Adv.

It is demonstrated that LCNPs undergo pH-dependent structural transitions from inverse hexagonal ( H II ) phases at pH 5 to more disordered non-lamellar phases, possibly inverse micellar ( L 2 ) or sponge ( L 3 ) phases, at pH 7.4, which are particularly suitable for inducing a controlled hybridization process with EVs. State-of-the-art single-particle analysis techniques reveal that LCNPs interact with various EV subpopulations at physiological conditions and that ≈40% of HEVs are loaded with the genetic cargo. Importantly, this study demonstrates that EV membrane proteins remain accessible on HEV surfaces, with their intrinsic enzymatic activity unaffected after the hybridization process.

In this study, a type of MDSC-like tumor cells (MLTCs) is found in tumor tissues induced by low-dose and long-term LPS stimulation. MLTCs can simultaneously express tumor cell and MDSCs markers. Similar to MDSCs, MLTCs can produce arginine, nitric oxide, and reactive oxygen species and inhibit the activity of NK and T cells to promote the formation of an immunosuppressive microenvironment. MLTCs can also promote tumor cell proliferation and vasculogenic mimicry formation.

Notably, matrix rigidity has emerged as a pivotal regulator of macrophage activation through mechanotransduction. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the interplay between mechanical and biochemical cues within the nuclear milieu remain elusive. Here We elucidate how the increased matrix rigidity drives macrophages to amplify alternatively-activated (M2 phenotype) signaling cooperatively with biochemical cues (e.g., IL4/13) through altered nuclear mechanics. We demonstrate that reconstructed podosome-like F-actins and contractility induce nucleus deformation, opening nuclear pores, which facilitates nuclear translocation of the key transcription factor STAT6. Furthermore, the altered nuclear mechanics increases chromatin accessibility induced by H3K9 methylation, particularly of M2-associated gene promoters. These cooperative events of the mechano-chemical signaling at the cytoskeletal-to-nuclear domains facilitate M2 transcriptional activation and cellular functions. We further evidence the rigidity-primed M2 macrophages are immunosuppressive and accumulated within stiffened tumors in patients.

In vitro test indicated that this mRNA vaccine reprogrammed tumor cells that can be recognized and killed by OVA-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). In situ mRNA vaccine notably inhibited tumor growth across three subcutaneous solid tumor models in mice. Further single-cell sequencing analyses revealed that mRNA vaccination act to reshape the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) toward more proinflammatory characteristics. Strikingly, this framework of mRNA-based strategy can be applied to two clinical pathogen antigens, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), and SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain (SRBD).

Mechanical force results in nuclear deformation and rupture of the nuclear envelope with inevitable DNA leakage. Cytoplasmic DNA triggers the activation of cGAS-STING pathway, enhancing the production of IL6, TNFα, and CCL2.

  @article{ , abstract = {Inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a promising approach to elicit enduring antitumor immune responses. Hence, extensive efforts are being made to develop ICD inducers. Herein, a cascaded dual-atom nanozyme with Fe and Cu sites (FeCu-DA) as an efficient ICD inducer is presented. The Fe and Cu dual-atom sites synergistically enhance peroxidase (POD) and catalase activities, effectively converting intratumoral hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) to hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and oxygen (O 2 ). Moreover, FeCu-DA exhibits superior glutathione-oxidase (GSH-OXD) activity, catalyzing GSH oxidation to generate H 2 O 2 , enabling cascaded catalysis for sustainable ∙OH generation and reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) resistance by consuming GSH. Steady–state kinetic analysis and density functional theory calculations indicate that FeCu-DA exhibits a higher catalytic rate and efficiency than Fe single-atom nanozymes (Fe-SA) because of its stronger interactions with H 2 O 2 . Its POD activity is 948.05 U mg −1 , which is 2.8-fold greater than that of Fe-SA. Furthermore, FeCu-DA exhibits impressive photothermal effects and photothermal-enhanced cascaded catalysis kinetics for ROS generation, thereby inducing potent ICD. Combined with anti-PD-L1 antibody (αPD-L1) blockade, FeCu-DA shows synergistic enhancement in treatment under near-infrared irradiation.

  @article{ , abstract = {Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 4 (TRAF4), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is frequently overexpressed in tumors. Although its cytoplasmic role in tumor progression is well-documented, the precise mechanisms underlying its nuclear localization and functional contributions in tumor cells remain elusive. This study demonstrated a positive correlation between the expression of nuclear TRAF4 and both tumor grades and stemness signatures in human cancer tissues. Notably, reduced nuclear TRAF4 led to decreased stemness properties and metastatic dormancy of tumor cells. Conversely, restoring nuclear TRAF4 in TRAF4-knockout (TRAF4-KO) cells augmented these cellular capabilities. Within the nucleus, the TRAF domain of TRAF4 interacted with c-Jun, thereby stimulating its transcriptional activity. This interaction subsequently led to an enhancement of the promoter activity of interleukin-8 (IL-8), which is identified as a mediator of nuclear TRAF4-induced tumor dormancy. Additionally, activation of AKT signaling by nerve growth factor facilitated TRAF4 phosphorylation at Ser242, enhancing its interaction with 14-3-3θ and promoting its nuclear translocation. Importantly, pharmacological modulation of TRAF4 nuclear translocation is found to suppress tumor tumorigenicity and metastasis in tumor models.

Here a lead-free perovskite hemispherical photodetector is reported for filterless single-pixel color imaging. Through passivating the active vacancy and antisite defects with functional chemical groups, the trap density of the perovskite film can be dramatically reduced to half of the pristine one, which results in a stable device with 0.69 nA standard deviation (SD) of the current fluctuations for over 10 000 s. The exceptional stability and remarkable low light response capability of passivated lead-free perovskite devices ensure reliable and repeated distinguishment to high-frequency color information of Fourier patterns. High-resolution color imaging with 256 × 256 pixels can be achieved by integrating the Bayer template with Fourier patterns and designing a corresponding color restoration algorithm.

Lenvatinib is an off-label use option for ATC patients in many countries but an approved prescription in Japan. However, lenvatinib resistance is a substantial clinical challenge. Clinical ATC samples including lenvatinib-resistant tumors are used to build patient-derived cells and patient-derived xenografts. High-throughput drug screening and synergy analyses are performed to identify an effective combination partner for lenvatinib. Cellular functions are detected by cell senescence, apoptosis, cell cycle, cell viability and colony formation assays. CDK2 inhibition showed the significant synthetic lethality with lenvatinib via inhibiting G1/S transition and inducing cell senescence in ATC. High expression of CDK2 is associated with lenvatinib resistance and poor clinical outcomes of ATC patients. Lenvatinib increased protein expression of CDK2 in lenvatinib-resistant ATC cells. Mechanistically, lenvatinib inhibited protein degradation of CDK2 via reducing CDK2's interaction with the RACK1-FBW7 complex, which is involved in ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of CDK2.

  @article{ , abstract = {Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the deposition of misfolded α-synuclein (α-syn) in the brain. Converging evidence indicates that the intracellular transmission and subsequent templated amplification of α-syn are involved in the onset and progression of PD. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the cell-to-cell transmission of pathological α-syn remain poorly understood. Microglia is highly activated in the brains of PD patients. Here, it is shown that depletion of microglia slows the spread of pathological α-syn pathology in mice injected with α-syn fibrils. Microglia phagocytose α-syn fibrils and transform them into more toxic species. The phagocytosis of α-syn fibrils by microglia is partially mediated by triggering a receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), a transmembrane protein expressed on the surface of microglia. The endocytosed α-syn fibrils are then cleaved by the lysosomal proteinase asparagine endopeptidase (AEP) to generate truncated α-syn 1–103 fibrils with enhanced seeding activity. Knockout of TREM2 and AEP impedes the endocytosis and cleavage of α-syn fibrils, respectively. The results demonstrate that TREM2-mediated phagocytosis of α-syn fibrils by microglia and subsequent AEP-mediated cleavage of α-syn fibrils contribute to the spread of α-syn in the brain.

The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) plays a crucial role in preventing aneuploidy in oocytes, yet it is unclear if additional mechanisms exist to ensure oocyte adherence to this checkpoint. It is now revealed that the microtubule-associated protein NUSAP can prevent oocytes from evading the SAC and regulate the speed of the cell cycle. Mechanistically, the study identifies NUSAP as a novel stabilizer of the E3 ubiquitin ligase APC/C CDH1 , protecting CDH1 from SCF BTRC -mediated degradation. Depletion of NUSAP reduces CDH1 protein level, leading to abnormal spindle assembly and chromosome alignment, and disrupting the balance of cell cycle proteins. This misregulated balance causes oocytes to evade the SAC. Consequently, these abnormal oocytes not only fail to arrest at metaphase but also accelerate the cell process, ultimately resulting in the production of aneuploid eggs. Together, the findings not only clarify the existence of mechanisms that ensure oocytes compliance with the spindle assembly checkpoint but also expand the new functions of NUSAP beyond its role as a microtubule- associated protein.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Changyin Zhou and Xue Zhang and Genlu Xu and Yuting Ran and Hui Wang and Xuefeng Xie and Ang Li and Fei Li and Xiaozhen Li and Jinlong Ding and Mianqun Zhang and Qing-Yuan Sun and Xiang-Hong Ou}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202413097}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {7}, pages = {2413097}, shortjournal = {Adv.

The primary function of traditional burn dressings is to prevent infection and facilitate tissue repair. However, these dressings are not intended for the inflammatory pain and depression that often occur during recovery. This study describes a self-healing hydrogel H@EFCP, which is designed to alleviate inflammatory pain and post-burn depression in burn injuries. This hydrogel is synthesized through the cross-linking of carboxymethyl chitosan with borate ester chelates formed from epigallocatechin gallate and 4-formylphenylboronic acid. The incorporated Prussian blue nanoparticles increase the ability of H@EFCP to regulate the inflammatory process. H@EFCP is effective in the treatment of skin burns by reducing oxidative stress and improving the microenvironment of peripheral inflammation in mice. This modulation consists of a reduction of central nervous system inflammation and the risk of post-burn depression.

  @article{ , abstract = {Overall water splitting (OWS) to produce hydrogen has attracted large attention in recent years due to its ecological-friendliness and sustainability. However, the efficiency of OWS has been forced by the sluggish kinetics of the four-electron oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The replacement of OER by alternative electrooxidation of small molecules with more thermodynamically favorable potentials may fundamentally break the limitation and achieve hydrogen production with low energy consumption, which may also be accompanied by the production of more value-added chemicals than oxygen or by electrochemical degradation of pollutants. This review critically assesses the latest discoveries in the coupled electrooxidation of various small molecules with OWS, including alcohols, aldehydes, amides, urea, hydrazine, etc. Emphasis is placed on the corresponding electrocatalyst design and related reaction mechanisms (e.g., dual hydrogenation and N–N bond breaking of hydrazine and C═N bond regulation in urea splitting to inhibit hazardous NCO − and NO − productions, etc.), along with emerging alternative electrooxidation reactions (electrooxidation of tetrazoles, furazans, iodide, quinolines, ascorbic acid, sterol, trimethylamine, etc.). Some new decoupled electrolysis and self-powered systems are also discussed in detail.

  @article{ , abstract = {Crystalline thermoelectric materials, especially SnSe crystals, have emerged as promising candidates for power generation and electronic cooling. In this study, significant enhancement in ZT is achieved through the combined effects of lattice distortions and band convergence in multiple electronic valence bands.

The complex defects formed by Sn vacancies and Pb doping not only boost the Seebeck coefficient but also optimize carrier concentration ( n H ) and enhance electrical conductivity ( σ ), resulting in a higher power factor ( PF ). Furthermore, the localized lattice distortions induced by these defects increase phonon scattering, significantly reducing lattice thermal conductivity ( κ lat ) to as low as 0.29 W m −1 K −1 at 773 K in Sn 0.92 Pb 0.03 Se.

This study addresses the challenge of controlling Cas12a activity, especially in the context of nucleic acid detection where the inherent incompatibility between isothermal amplification and CRISPR reactions complicates accurate diagnostics. An RNA G-quadruplex (RG4) structure at the 5′ end of crRNA is introduced to modulate Cas12a activity accurately without the need for chemical modifications. The results indicate that the presence of RG4 does not significantly impact Cas12a's cleavage activity but can be controlled by RG4 stabilizers, enabling the suppression and subsequent restoration of Cas12a activity with potential for precise activity control. Moreover, the use of RG4 is expanded by incorporating it into split crRNA, introducing RG4 directly at the 5′ end of the direct repeat (DR) region, enabling tailored activity regulation for different targets by matching with various Spacer regions.

  @article{ , abstract = {Low back pain (LBP) caused by nucleus pulposus degeneration and calcification leads to great economic and social burden worldwide. Unexpectedly, no previous studies have demonstrated the association and the underlying mechanism between nucleus pulposus tissue degeneration and calcification formation. Secreted Phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) exerts crucial functions in bone matrix mineralization and calcium deposition. Here, a novel function of SPP1 is reported, namely that it can aggravate nucleus pulposus cells (NPs) degeneration by negatively regulating extracellular matrix homeostasis. The degenerated NPs have a higher mineralization potential, which is achieved by SPP1. Mechanistically, SPP1 can accelerate the degeneration of nucleus pulposus cells by activating integrin α5β1 (ITGα5/β1), aggravating mitochondrial damage and inhibiting mitophagy. SPP1-ITGα5/β1 axis inhibits mitophagy by PINK1/PARKIN pathway blockade. In conclusion, SPP1 activates ITGα5/β1 to inhibit mitophagy, accelerates NPs degeneration, and induces calcification, thereby leading to intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) and calcification, identifying the potentially unknown mechanism and relationship between IVDD and calcification.

  @article{ , abstract = {Karyotype diversity plays an important role in speciation and diversification. However, gymnosperms, particularly conifers, exhibit remarkable karyotype uniformity. To explore the evolutionary processes shaping karyotypes in gymnosperms, the karyotype evolutionary history is reconstructed through comparative genomic analyses. Synteny analysis confirms the absence of ancient polyploidy in conifers and its rarity across the gymnosperms as a whole. Further analysis reveals convergent patterns of reciprocal translocations between nonhomologous chromosomes in conifer genomes. Centromeric-centromeric reciprocal translocations (CRTs) have been identified as the primary mechanism of karyotype evolution in conifers, while telomeric-centromeric reciprocal translocations (TRTs) significantly contributed to descending dysploidy within Cupressales. A graph-based method is utilized to infer the detailed evolutionary pathways from the proto-gymnosperm karyotype ( n = 12) to modern conifer karyotypes ( n = 11–12). In conclusion, the scarcity of both polyploidy and dysploidy contributes to the karyotype uniformity of gymnosperms and potentially also to their lower species richness compared to angiosperms. However, the pervasive CRTs and occasional TRTs underlie this “apparent uniformity”, supporting the “karyotype orthoselection” hypothesis.

This study introduces a safe and effective intratumoral EGFR-targeted CRISPR-LNP delivery strategy for knocking out SOX2, which is a cancer-specific gene.

Notably, it is observed that mesoscale alignment in the flow direction does not develop simultaneously across nano-micro lengthscales in sheared suspensions of rod-like chiral-nematic (meso) phase forming cellulose nanocrystals. Rather, with increasing shear rate, orientation is observed first at mesoscale and then extends to the nanoscale, with influencing factors being the aggregation state of the hierarchy and concentration. In biphasic systems, where an isotropic phase co-exists with self-assembled liquid crystalline mesophase domains, the onset of mesodomain alignment towards the flow direction can occur at shear rates nearing one decade before a progressive increase in preferential orientation at nanoscale is detected. If physical confinement prevents the full formation of a cholesteric phase, mesoscale orientation occurs in shear rate ranges that correspond to de-structuring at nanoscale. Interestingly, nano- and mesoscale orientations appear to converge only for biphasic suspensions with primary nanoparticles predominantly made up of individual crystallites and in a high-aspect ratio nematic-forming thin-wall nanotube system.

To maximize the therapeutic effects of tumor-specific cuproptosis, this work reports for the first time the regulation of degradation behaviors of Cu-based nanomaterials using graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as a protection layer. The deposition of GQDs not only avoids the degradation of Cu 2 O nanocubes under normal physiological conditions, but also sensitizes their sonodynamic activity due to the formation of Z-scheme heterojunctions. The tumor-specific released Cu ions achieve the cascade amplification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation through Cu + -mediated Fenton-like reaction and Cu 2+ -facilitated GSH depletion. More importantly, the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) can be reversed by the greatly enhanced ROS levels and high-efficiency cuproptosis, ultimately inducing immunogenic cell death that promotes robust systemic immune responses for the eradication of primary tumors and suppression of distant tumors. This work provides a novel paradigm for the integration of SDT, CDT, cuproptosis, and immunotherapy in a controlled manner to achieve tumor-specific antitumor therapy by controlling the degradation behaviors of Cu-based nanomaterials.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Lang Yan and Liang Chang and Yijun Tian and Jinyan Hu and Zhi Cao and Xiang Guo and Bijiang Geng}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202410606}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {7}, pages = {2410606}, shortjournal = {Adv.

While immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1/PD-L1 have brought new hope, their efficacy is limited by low response rates and significant immune-mediated adverse events (irAEs). Through multi-omics data analysis, it is discovered that the spatial co-localization of CD73 and PD-L1 in melanoma correlates with improved progression-free survival (PFS), suggesting a synergistic potential of their inhibitors. Building on these insights, a novel therapeutic strategy using calcium phosphate (CaP) nanoparticles is developed for the co-delivery of aPD-L1 and APCP, a CD73 inhibitor. These nanoparticles, constructed via a biomineralization method, exhibit high drug-loading capacity and pH-responsive drug release. Compared to free aPD-L1, the CaP-delivered aPD-L1 effectively avoids systemic side effects while significantly enhancing anti-tumor efficacy, surpassing even a 20-fold dose of free aPD-L1. Furthermore, the co-delivery of aPD-L1 and APCP via CaP nanoparticles demonstrates a synergistic anti-tumor effect, with substantial immune activation and prevention of tumor recurrence through immune memory effects.

  @article{ , abstract = {Oxidative stress is believed to play critical pathophysiological roles in ischemic brain injury, and the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway is recognized as the most crucial endogenous antioxidant stress damage route. Some research have demonstrated that Nrf2 play critical roles in oxidative stress after ischemic stroke, but the underlying mechanism are not fully elucidated. This study reveals that Nrf2 is modified by SUMOylation and identifies Sentrin/SUMO-specific protease 6 (SENP6) as a negative regulator of Nrf2 SUMOylation. Notably, SENP6 binds to and mediates the deSUMOylation of Nrf2, which in turn inhibits antioxidant response by enhancing ubiquitination-dependent degradation of Nrf2, thereby reducing its transcriptional activity, inducing oxidative stress and aggravating neuronal apoptosis after ischemic stroke. Additionally, blocking the interaction between SENP6 and Nrf2 with a cell membrane-permeable peptide (Tat-Nrf2) preserves the SUMOylation of Nrf2, effectively attenuates oxidative stress, and rescues neurological functions in mice subjected to ischemic stroke. Furthermore, no toxicity is observed when high doses Tat-Nrf2 are injected into nonischemic mice.

A promising approach for improving thrombolysis efficiency is utilizing the permanent magnetically actuated locomotion of nanorobots.

Inspired by ciliary movement for cargo transportation in human body, in this study, cilia-mimic locomotion of magnetic colloidal collectives is realized under torque-force vortex magnetic field (TFV-MF) by a designed rotating permanent magnet assembly. This cilia-mimic locomotion mode can generate more disturbances to the fluids to improve thrombolytic drug transportation and the increased height and area of colloidal collectives boosted the imaging capability. In addition, low-intensity ultrasound is applied to enhance colloids infiltration by producing the fiber breakage and inducing erythrocyte deformation. In vitro thrombolytic experiments demonstrate that the thrombolysis efficiency increased by 16.2 times compared with that of pure tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) treatments.

  @article{ , abstract = {Gouty arthritis is characterized by an acute inflammatory response triggered by monosodium urate (MSU) crystals deposited in the joints and periarticular tissues.

Macrophages play a critical role in the initiation, progression, and resolution of acute gout, with the cellular profiles closely linked to their activation and polarization. This suggests that metabolic regulation can be of significance in managing gouty inflammation. In this study, it is demonstrated that melatonin, a natural hormone, modulates the metabolic remodeling of inflammatory macrophages by shifting their metabolism from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation, further altering functions of the pathogenic macrophage. To improve melatonin delivery to the inflamed sites, macrophage membrane-coated melatonin-loaded liposomes (MLT-MLP) are developed. Benefiting from the inflammation-homing characteristic of macrophage membrane, such engineered liposomes effectively target the inflamed site and demonstrate potent anti-inflammatory effects, achieving an enhanced amelioration of acute gouty arthritis.

Despite new developments in nanotechnology in the treatment of PD, in-depth exploration of their biological effects, in particular, the specific mechanisms of inflammation inhibition are lacking.

The microgel can be efficiently delivered to the brain aided by MPC, after which a multi-level regulatory strategy targeting neurons and microglia can be initiated. The catalytic activity cascade elicited by SOD and Cu ions can regulate the anti-inflammatory phenotypic transformation of microglia by relieving oxidative stress. Meanwhile, the dopamine (DA) released from PDA can facilitate DA storage and neurogenesis, inhibiting CX3CL1 release and the CX3CR1 receptor on microglia and further regulating the CX3CL1/CX3CR1-NF-κB-NLRP3 signaling pathway in microglia to inhibit neuroinflammation.

Immunosuppression is a major factor contributing to the infection chronicity of S. aureus PJI, posing significant treatment challenges. This study investigates the relationship between the immunosuppressive biofilm milieu and S. aureus PJI outcomes in both discovery and validation cohorts. This scRNA-seq analysis of synovium from PJI patients reveals an expansion and heightened activity of monocyte-related myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Treg). Importantly, CXCL16 is significantly upregulated in M-MDSCs, with its corresponding CXCR6 receptor also elevated on Treg. M-MDSCs recruit Treg and enhance its activity via CXCL16-CXCR6 interactions, while Treg secretes TGF-β, inducing M-MDSCs proliferation and immunosuppressive activity. Interfering with this cross-talk in vivo using Treg-specific CXCR6 knockout PJI mouse model reduces M-MDSCs/Treg-mediated immunosuppression and alleviates bacterial burden. Immunohistochemistry and recurrence analysis show that PJI patients with CXCR6 high synovium have poor prognosis.

  @article{ , abstract = {There is an urgent necessity to devise efficient tactics to tackle the inevitable development of resistance to osimertinib, which is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor used in treating EGFR-mutant nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study demonstrates that combining itraconazole with osimertinib synergistically reduces the proliferation and migration, enhances the apoptosis of osimertinib-resistant cells, and effectively inhibits the growth of osimertinib-resistant tumors. Mechanistically, itraconazole combined with osimertinib promotes the proteasomal degradation of sonic hedgehog (SHH), resulting in inactivation of the SHH/Dual-specificity phosphatase 13B (DUSP13B)/p-STAT3 and Hedgehog pathways, suppressing Myc proto-oncogene protein (c-Myc). Additionally, DUSP13B interacts with signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and modulates its phosphorylation. Interestingly, it is observed that SHH overexpression partially rescues the synergistic effects of this combination treatment strategy through the SHH/DUSP13B/p-STAT3 signaling axis. Moreover, it is found that SHH, (GLI1), p-STAT3, and DUSP13B play significant predictive roles in osimertinib resistance. In lung adenocarcinoma, p-STAT3 is positively correlated with SHH but negatively correlated with DUSP13B.

  @article{ , abstract = {Increased telomerase activity has been considered as a conspicuous sign of human cancers. The catalytic cores of telomerase involve a reverse transcriptase and the human telomerase RNA (hTR). However, current detection of telomerase is largely limited to its activity at the tissue and single-cell levels. To reveal the precise distribution of subcellular hTR and telomerase activity, here a modular engineered DNA nanodevice (DNA-ND) is designed capable of imaging hTR and telomerase activity in cytoplasm and nucleus, enabling colocalization analysis. DNA-ND is a modular DNA complex comprising hTR and telomerase activity detection modules, which respectively sense intercellular hTR and telomerase activity via target-sensitive allosteric transition of DNA switches, actuating orthogonal activation of fluorescence signals to achieve in situ co-imaging of hTR and telomerase activity. By integrating DNA-ND with specific localized signals, the DNA-ND based precise profiling of colocalization of hTR and telomerase activity in different cell lines as well as their dynamic changes during pharmacological interventions is demonstrated.

Metabolic reprogramming, as an adaptive survival mechanism, is closely related to therapy resistance of tumors. Colorectal cancer (CRC) cells exhibit a high energy dependency that is sustained by an adaptive metabolic conversion between glucose and glutamine, helping tumor cells to withstand nutrient-deficient microenvironments and various treatments. We discover that transition metal vanadium (V) effectively inhibits glucose metabolism in CRC and synergizes with glutaminase inhibitors (BPTES) to disrupt CRC's energy dependency. Thus, a dual energy metabolism suppression nanosystem (VSi-BP@HA) is engineered by loading BPTES into V-doped hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles. This nanosystem effectively dampens CRC energy metabolism, eradicating 33% of tumors in mice. Strikingly, the cell biological and preclinical model datasets provide compelling evidence showing that VSi-BP@HA not only reverses CRC cells chemo-resistance but also drastically potentiates anti-PD1 immunotherapy.

High NR3C1 expression driven by SE correlated with 5-FU resistance in patient-derived organoids (PDOs).

This study integrates Hi-C data from diverse plant species, demonstrating that nuclear DNA content influences large-scale chromosome conformation and affects the finer details of compartmental patterns. These contrasting compartmental patterns are distinguished by gene-to-gene loops and validated through cytological observations. Additionally, a novel chromatin domain type associated with tandem duplicate gene clusters is identified. These domains are independent of H3K27me3-mediated chromatin compartmentalization and exhibit evolutionary conservation across species. Gene pairs within TAD-like domains are younger and show higher levels of coexpression.

  @article{ , abstract = {Disulfidptosis is a newly discovered type of regulated cell death triggered by disulfide bond accumulation and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) depletion due to glucose deprivation. However, the regulatory mechanisms involving additional cellular circuits remain unclear. Excessive disulfide bond accumulation can impair endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis and activate the ER stress response. In this study, we found that SLC7A11-mediated disulfidptosis upon glucose deprivation is accompanied by ER stress induction. Pharmacological inhibition of SLC7A11-mediated cystine uptake or cystine withdrawal not only blocks disulfidptosis under glucose starvation but also suppresses the ER stress response, indicating a close link between these processes. Moreover, inhibitors targeting the ER stress response promote disulfidptosis, while ER stress inducers suppress glucose starvation-induced disulfidptosis in SLC7A11-high-expressing cells, suggesting a protective role for ER stress during disulfidptosis. Similar effects are observed in cells treated with glucose transporter inhibitors (GLUTi). Finally, combined treatment with ER stress inhibitors and GLUTi significantly suppresses tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo by inducing disulfide stress and subsequent disulfidptosis.

  @article{ , abstract = {Circulating lactate is a critical biomarker for sepsis-induced acute lung injury (S-ALI) and is strongly associated with poor prognosis. However, whether elevated lactate directly promotes S-ALI and the specific mechanism involved remain unclear. Here, this work shows that lactate causes pulmonary endothelial glycocalyx degradation and worsens ALI during sepsis. Mechanistically, lactate increases the lactylation of K18 of histone H3, which is enriched at the promoter of EGR1 and promotes its transcription, leading to upregulation of heparanase in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells. In addition, multiple lactylation sites are identified in EGR1, and lactylation is confirmed to occur mainly at K364. K364 lactylation of EGR1 facilitates its interaction with importin-α, in turn promoting its nuclear localization. Importantly, this work identifies KAT2B as a novel lactyltransferase whose GNAT domain directly mediates the lactylation of EGR1 during S-ALI. In vivo, suppression of lactate production or genetic knockout of EGR1 mitigated glycocalyx degradation and ALI and improved survival outcomes in mice with polymicrobial sepsis. Therefore, this study reveals that the crosstalk between metabolic reprogramming in endothelial cells and epigenetic modifications plays a critical role in the pathological processes of S-ALI.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Zongqing Lu and Pu Fang and Shuai Li and Dunling Xia and Jingjing Zhang and Xianghui Wu and Jingjing Pan and Haijian Cai and Lin Fu and Gengyun Sun and Qinghai You}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202407064}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {7}, pages = {2407064}, shortjournal = {Adv.

SAM-dPCR leverages the robustness of the zero-shot Segment Anything Model (SAM) to achieve rapid processing times (<4 seconds) with an accuracy exceeding 97.10%. This method has been extensively validated across diverse samples and reactor morphologies, demonstrating its broad applicability. Utilizing standard laboratory fluorescence microscopes, SAM-dPCR can measure nucleic acid template concentrations ranging from 0.154 copies µL −1 to 1.295 × 10 3 copies µL −1 for droplet dPCR and 0.160 × 10 3 to 3.629 × 10 3 copies µL −1 for microwell dPCR.

Recent studies emphasize the importance of E3 ligases in regulating the degradation of α-Syn.

In this study, it is found that the protein levels of α-Syn are negatively regulated by ovarian tumor protease deubiquitinase 5 (OTUD5) which protects dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the PD model. Mechanistically, OTUD5 promotes K63-linked polyubiquitination of α-Syn independent of its deubiquitinating enzyme activity and mediates its endolysosomal degradation by recruiting the E3 ligase neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4 (NEDD4). Furthermore, OTUD5 conditional knockout in DA neurons results in more severe α-Syn related pathology and dyskinesia after injection of α-Syn preformed fibrils (PFF).

  @article{ , abstract = {The resistance of tumors to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) may be intricately linked to cellular senescence, although definitive clinical validation remains elusive. In this study, comprehensive pan-cancer scRNA-seq analyses identify fibroblasts as exhibiting the most pronounced levels of cellular senescence among tumor-associated cell populations. To elucidate this phenomenon, a fibroblast senescence-associated transcriptomic signature (FSS), which correlated strongly with protumorigenic signaling pathways and immune dysregulation that fosters tumor progression, is developed. Leveraging the FSS, the machine learning (ML) framework demonstrates exceptional accuracy in predicting ICI response and survival outcomes, achieving superior area under curve (AUC) values across validation, testing, and in-house cohorts. Strikingly, FSS consistently outperforms established signatures in predictive robustness across diverse cancer subtypes. From an integrative analysis of 17 CRISPR/Cas9 libraries, CDC6 emerges as a pivotal biomarker for pan-cancer ICI response and prognostic stratification. Mechanistically, experimental evidence reveals that CDC6 in tumor cells orchestrates fibroblast senescence via TGF-β1 secretion and oxidative stress, subsequently reprogramming the tumor microenvironment and modulating ICI response.

However, the roles of DRD4 in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain unclear. This study observes a significant upregulation of DRD4 expression in clinical samples, which is negatively correlated with patient prognosis. In vitro, overexpression of DRD4 causes a constitutive activation of β-Arrestin2/PP2A/AKT independent of dopamine. Interestingly, this classical signaling pathway is not associated with the phenotype of DRD4-promoted migration and invasion in CRC cells. Instead, DRD4 interacts with transforming growth factor beta receptors (TGFBR1 and TGFBR2) to activate Smad2 phosphorylation and promote Smad2/Smad4 complex nucleus translocation. Then, SNAI1 and JAG1 are transcriptionally activated to induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition and enhance the metastatic potential of CRC. Notably, the COOH-terminal domain is identified as the key intracellular region for the pro-metastatic roles of DRD4. Furthermore, treatment with a TGFBR1 inhibitor combined with a BMP inhibitor effectively counteracts the pro-metastatic effects induced by DRD4 both in vitro and in vivo.

However, the catalytic activity of transition metal-based superlattice materials for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is often constrained by their intrinsic electronic band structures, which can limit charge carrier mobility and active site availability. Herein, a highly efficient electrocatalyst based on a VS 2 -VS heterodimensional (2D-1D) superlattice with sulfur vacancies is designed addressing the limitations posed by the intrinsic electronic structure. The enhanced catalytic performance of the VS 2 -VS superlattice is primarily attributed to the engineered heterojunction, where the work function difference between the VS 2 layer and VS chain induces a charge separation field that promotes efficient electron-hole separation. Introducing sulfur vacancies further amplifies this effect by inducing quantum localization of the separated electrons, thereby significantly boosting HER activity.

Here, patient-derived organoid screening models of colorectal cancer are established to identify tumors that are sensitive to ferroptosis-inducing therapy. This study discovers that patient-derived tumors characterized by mitophagy deficiency are hypersensitive to ferroptosis-inducing therapies. Mechanistically, a novel negative feedback regulatory pathway of lipid peroxidation is identified, which is one of the important intrinsic anti-ferroptosis mechanisms of cancer cells. Lipid peroxidation-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress transcriptionally upregulates Parkin to promote mitophagy through ATF4. Mitophagy limits the generation of lipid peroxidation products and subsequently inhibits ferroptosis by inhibiting the accumulation of mitochondrial ROS. Mitophagy-deficient tumors lack this anti-ferroptotic mechanism, unleashing the generation of lipid peroxidation and potent ferroptotic cell death induced by erastin, RSL3, cysteine deprivation, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. More importantly, ferroptosis-inducing therapy selectively inhibits the growth and distant metastasis of mitophagy-deficient tumors in vivo.

The YME1-like 1 (YME1L1) ATPase, an inner mitochondrial membrane protein, is screened and identified to be downregulated in renal tubular epithelial cells of various mouse models and patients of AKI. Dramatically, restoration of YME1L1 expression significantly alleviates cisplatin-induced AKI and subsequent chronic kidney disease (CKD) through attenuating mitochondrial dysfunction via maintaining optic atrophy 1 (OPA1)-mediated mitochondrial energy metabolism homeostasis. Mechanistically, the upregulated expression of sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1c (SREBP1c) is demonstrated to be responsible for cisplatin-mediated transcriptional inhibition of YME1L1 via directly binding to its promoter region. Moreover, cisplatin-induced methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3)-mediated m6A modification enhances SREBP1c mRNA stability, thereby upregulating its expression. Notably, both depletion of SREBP1c and renal tubule-specific overexpression of YME1L1 markedly ameliorate cisplatin-induced AKI and its transition to CKD. Taken together, these findings suggest that METTL3-mediated SREBP1c upregulation contributes to AKI and its progression to CKD through disrupting mitochondrial energy metabolism via transcriptionally suppressing YME1L1. Targeting the SREBP1c/YME1L1 signaling may serve as a novel therapeutic strategy against AKI.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Wang Xin and Jie Zhou and Yuzhu Peng and Shuiqin Gong and Wenhao Liao and Yaqin Wang and Xixin Huang and Yang Mao and Mengying Yao and Shaozong Qin and Jiachuan Xiong and Yan Li and Qigang Lan and Yinghui Huang and Jinghong Zhao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202412233}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {6}, pages = {2412233}, shortjournal = {Adv.

This study aimed to investigate the expression patterns, prognostic values, and functional role of SAMHD1 in HCC progression. We constructed liver tissue microarrays using tumor and paired paratumor tissue specimens from 187 patients with primary HCC. Our findings indicate that nuclear SAMHD1 protein levels are increased in tumors compared to paratumor tissues. Moreover, nuclear SAMHD1 levels decline in advanced tumor stages, with higher SAMHD1 nuclear staining correlating with favorable prognostic outcomes.

  @article{ , abstract = {Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) therapy application to attenuate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury in clinical practice remains challenging. The secretome, derived from hypoxia-preconditioned cardiomyocytes (SHPC), potentially mimics the IPC microenvironment and facilitates IPC clinical translation. This study aims to determine whether SHPC can be a feasible alternative to IPC for attenuating MI/R injury, and to identify the functional factor of SHPC. The ultrafiltration technique is applied to generate an SHPC formulation that is intramyocardially injected before reperfusion in a murine MI/R model. The effects of SHPC on cardiomyocyte apoptosis, pyroptosis, and neutrophil polarization are evaluated. Secretomics, neutralizing antibodies, and recombinant proteins are employed to identify the functional factor in SHPC. Co-immunoprecipitation assays, RNA sequencing, and site-directed mutagenesis are conducted to investigate the underlying mechanism. Additionally, a recombinant functional factor-encapsulated hydrogel is developed for intrapericardial injections (iPC). An intramyocardial SHPC injection in MI/R-injured mice strikingly reduces infarct size and the expression of cardiac injury biomarker while improving cardiac function. SHPC eliminated mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and triggered neutrophil polarization to reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis/pyroptosis upon hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. Stanniocalcin 1 (Stc1) is identified as the functional factor in SHPC, mediating hypoxic microenvironment. Mechanistically, hypoxia-preconditioned cardiomyocytes secrete Stc1 into the microenvironment and activate calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) that increases Stat3 phosphorylation at Ser727 via nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2)-mediated S-nitrosylation, thereby decreasing cardiomyocyte apoptosis/pyroptosis in an autocrine mechanism. Simultaneously, Stc1 facilitates cardiomyocyte-neutrophil crosstalk, thereby triggering neutrophil polarization to reduce inflammatory damage via the CaSR/NOS2/Stat3 axis in a paracrine mechanism. Pericardial delivery of a recombinant rStc1-encapsulated hydrogel has extended the therapeutic time window of rStc1, improving long-term cardiac function. The hypoxia microenvironment preconditioning, which mimicked by SHPC, attenuated MI/R injury via Stc1-mediated cardiomyocyte self-protection and neutrophil polarization.

  @article{ , abstract = {Flexoelectric coefficient is a tetradic and its introduction enables centrosymmetric materials to exhibit piezoelectricity. However, the flexoelectric paradigm currently lacks a strategy to effectively tune the strain gradient for optimal electro-mechanical coupling. This study proposes a quantized collision model accessible through ionic irradiation technology to explore the flexoelectricity and precisely modulate the strain gradient. The lattice strain is introduced in SrTiO 3 (STO) single crystals and tuned broadly by irradiation with ions of He + , C + , and P + at dose of 1 × 10 14 and 2 × 10 15 ion cm −2 , respectively. Under C + ion irradiation at a dose of 2 × 10 15 ion cm −2 , thin-film X-ray diffraction reveals a strain gradient up to ≈0.65% nm −1 . The resulted polarization is found to orient out-of-plane, as observed through X-ray reciprocal space mapping and high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy. Piezoresponse force microscopy characterization reveals that the electric-induced out-of-plane polarization reversal emerges at room temperature, corresponding to a stain gradient ≈0.05% nm −1 in STO's flexoelectric response.

  @article{ , abstract = {Vitrimer is a new, exciting class of sustainable polymers with healing abilities due to their dynamic covalent adaptive networks. However, a limited choice of constituent molecules restricts their property space and potential applications. To overcome this challenge, an innovative approach coupling molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and a novel graph variational autoencoder (VAE) model for inverse design of vitrimer chemistries with desired glass transition temperature ( T g ) is presented. The first diverse vitrimer dataset of one million chemistries is curated and T g for 8,424 of them is calculated by high-throughput MD simulations calibrated by a Gaussian process model. The proposed VAE employs dual graph encoders and a latent dimension overlapping scheme which allows for individual representation of multi-component vitrimers. High accuracy and efficiency of the framework are demonstrated by discovering novel vitrimers with desirable T g beyond the training regime. To validate the effectiveness of the framework in experiments, vitrimer chemistries are generated with a target T g = 323 K. By incorporating chemical intuition, a novel vitrimer with T g of 311–317 K is synthesized, experimentally demonstrating healability and flowability.

  @article{ , abstract = {Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is the leading cause of hepatic graft dysfunction, resulting from hepatocyte damage. Nevertheless, given the few specialized therapeutics available in hepatic IRI, additional mechanistic insights into hepatocyte damage are required. Here, the protein solute carrier family 39 member 14 (SLC39A14) is identified as a pro-ferroptosis target in hepatocytes of human liver allografts through single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. SLC39A14 knockdown significantly mitigated hepatic IRI by preventing hepatocyte ferroptosis in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, the inhibition of SLC39A14 suppressed non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI) uptake by hepatocytes, thereby reducing iron overload and cell ferroptosis. Moreover, human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) are found to exhibit a notable therapeutic effect on hepatic IRI by downregulating SLC39A14 expression. Exosomes derived from hBMSCs delivered abundant miR-16-5p into hepatocytes, which post-transcriptionally suppressed the expression of SLC39A14 and reduced cell ferroptosis induced by hepatic IRI. In conclusion, SLC39A14 triggers hepatic IRI by mediating NTBI uptake into hepatocytes and inducing hepatocyte ferroptosis.

  @article{ , abstract = {Photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO 2 reduction using a photocathode is an attractive method for making valuable chemical products due to its simplicity and lower overpotential requirements. However, previous PEC processes have often been diffusion-limited leading to low production rates of the CO 2 reduction reaction, due to inefficient gas diffusion through the liquid electrolyte to the catalyst surface, particularly at high current densities. In this study, a gas-permeable photocathode in a continuous flow PEC reactor is incorporated, which facilitates the direct supply of CO 2 gas to the photocathode-electrolyte interface, unlike dark reaction-based flow reactors. This concept is demonstrated using Ag-TiO 2 on carbon paper, illuminated through a quartz window and flowing liquid electrolyte. CO 2 supply is managed via pressure and flow control on the non-illuminated side of the carbon paper. The photocurrent density is significantly influenced by the flow rates and pressure of CO 2 gas, and the electrolyte flow rates. Compared to the traditional H-cell, the continuous PEC flow reactor achieves ≈10-fold increase in CO faradaic efficiency, 30-fold increase in production rate and 16-fold increase in stability without catalyst modifications.

  @article{ , abstract = {Bacterial infections resistant to antimicrobial treatments, particularly those caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( P. aeruginosa ), frequently lead to elevated mortality rates. Tackling this resistance using therapeutic combinations with varied mechanisms has shown considerable promise. In this study, a bioinspired nanocarrier is successfully designed and engineered for targeted antibiotic delivery and toxin/bacteria clearance. This is achieved by encapsulating antibiotic-loaded framework nucleic acids with hybrid cell membranes acquired from neutrophils and platelets. By coating the hybrid membrane outside the shell, nanocarriers are endowed with the function of neutrophil-like chemotaxis and platelet-like bacteria adhesion to achieve the first stage of inflammation targeting. Based on the specific binding of bacteria toxin to the hybrid membrane, the release of antibiotic-loaded framework nucleic acids is triggered by toxin-mediated membrane lysis to fulfill the second stage of toxin neutralization and bacteria killing. Meanwhile, the immunomodulation potential of framework nucleic acids enables nanocarriers to accomplish the third stage of reversing the immunosuppressive microenvironment. In mouse models of acute and chronic P. aeruginosa pneumonia, the nanocarriers can reduce bacterial burden at a low dosage and decrease mortality with negligible toxicity.

The kidney's complex intricate physiological architecture and the heterogeneous intracellular environment pose significant challenges for effective sequential and high-resolution drug delivery—an urgent issue that remains unresolved. To address this, a hierarchical-targeting antioxidant nanodrug has been developed with a folic acid moiety (HAND) designed for high-resolution drug delivery in AKI treatment. For the first time, HAND enables sequential targeting from the kidney to the most severely damaged proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs), ultimately concentrating in the DNA-rich mitochondria and nucleus. As a result, HAND effectively scavenges ROS in situ, protecting both mitochondria and nuclei along with their vital genetic material. This action restores mitochondrial function, mitigates DNA oxidation and fragmentation, reduces apoptosis, and inhibits cGAS/STING-mediated sterile inflammation. Consequently, HAND demonstrates remarkable efficacy in safeguarding injured kidneys during AKI.

  @article{ , abstract = {Embryonic muscle fiber formation determines post-birth muscle fiber totals. The previous research shows SYISL knockout significantly increases muscle fiber numbers and mass in mice, but the mechanism remains unclear. This study confirms that the SYISL gene, maternal gut microbiota, and their interaction significantly affect the number of muscle fibers in mouse embryos through distinct mechanisms, as SYISL knockout alters maternal gut microbiota composition and boosts butyrate levels in embryonic serum. Both fecal microbiota transplantation and butyrate feeding significantly increase muscle fiber numbers in offspring, with butyrate inhibiting histone deacetylases and increasing histone acetylation in embryonic muscle. Combined analysis of RNA-seq between wild-type and SYISL knockout mice with ChIP-seq for H3K9ac and H3K27ac reveals that SYISL and maternal microbiota interaction regulates myogenesis via the butyrate-HDAC-H3K9ac/H3K27ac pathway. Furthermore, scRNA-seq analysis shows that SYISL knockout alone significantly increases the number and proportion of myogenic cells and their dynamics, independently of regulating histone acetylation levels. Cell communication analysis suggests that this may be due to the downregulation of signaling pathways such as MSTN and TGFβ.

  @article{ , abstract = {Precious metal electrical contact materials are pivotal in microelectronic devices due to their excellent chemical stability and electrical properties. Their practical application is hindered by the strength, contact resistance, and high cost. Multi-principal elements alloys (MPEAs) provide the possibility to develop cost-effective materials with enhanced mechanical properties. To address this, a novel precious metal MPEA, PdAgCuAuPtZn alloy, is designed, which exhibits significant solid solution strengthening and aging strengthening effects. The ultimate tensile strength increases from 747 MPa in the solution state to 1126 MPa in the aged state, while resistivity remains low. This study presents the first systematic investigation into the strengthening mechanisms of precious metal MPEAs using nanoindentation technology. These findings indicate that the aging strengthening of the alloy is attributed to spinodal decomposition (SD) and chemical short-range order (CSRO) in the matrix. Furthermore, the precipitation structure with Cu-rich and Ag-rich phases gradually replaces the matrix, primarily accounting for aging softening. Additionally, it is discovered that precipitation structure can be strengthened by CSRO formed in the Cu-rich phase, thus providing an innovative strengthening in PdAgCuAuPtZn alloy.

This study demonstrates for the first time that VDBP is highly expressed in core emotion-related brain regions of mice susceptible to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS).

The soft fibers can achieve wireless self-healing and reversible bonding of the fibers by eddy current heating and can be actuated by magnetic fields. Moreover, the soft fibers are recyclable and printable. Building on this material foundation, an integrated material-structure-actuation printing strategy using soft fibers for the design and fabrication of soft robots are reported. The robots printed by this strategy can achieve their untethered motions and wireless self-healing. Soft gripper, soft crawling robot, and soft multi-legged robot, are then fabricated which demonstrates the self-healing, self-reconfigurable, self-amputating, and sustainable performances of soft robots so as to adapt to different environments and tasks.

  @article{ , abstract = {Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often leads to enduring axonal damage and persistent neurological deficits. While PTEN's role in neuronal growth is recognized, its long-term activation changes post-TBI and its effects on sensory-motor circuits are not well understood. Here, it is demonstrated that the neuronal knockout of PTEN (PTEN-nKO) significantly enhances both structural and functional recovery over the long term after TBI. Importantly, in vivo, DTI-MRI revealed that PTEN-nKO promotes white matter repair post-TBI. Additionally, calcium imaging and electromyographic recordings indicated that PTEN-nKO facilitates cortical remapping and restores sensory-motor pathways. Mechanistically, PTEN negatively regulates the Akt/mTOR pathway by inhibiting Akt, thereby suppressing mTOR. Raptor is a key component of mTORC1 and its suppression impedes axonal regeneration. The restoration of white matter integrity and the improvements in neural function observed in PTEN-nKO TBI-treated mice are reversed by a PTEN/Raptor double knockout (PTEN/Raptor D-nKO), suggesting that mTORC1 acts as a key mediator.

Integrative multiomics analysis suggests that the over-representation of ferroptosis, calcium, calcium ion binding, and cell adhesion signaling pathways is associated with PHH. Bioinformatic analysis indicates that chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) is discovered as a CSF biomarker and positively correlated with the ventricular size and the rate of periventricular leukomalacia. Next, it is further demonstrated that these signaling pathways are dysregulated in the choroid plexus (ChP) in PHH by using in vitro cellular experiments and rat models of PHH, whereas CSPG4 silencing can suppress ferroptosis, cell adhesion function, and the intracellular flow of Ca 2+ .

  @article{ , abstract = {Elevated uptake of saturated fatty acid palmitic acid (PA) is associated with tumor metastasis; however, the precise mechanisms remain partially understood, hindering the development of therapy for PA-driven tumor metastasis. The Hippo–Yes-associated protein (Hippo/YAP) pathway is implicated in cancer progression. Here it is shown that a high-palm oil diet potentiates tumor metastasis in murine xenografts in part through YAP. It is found that the palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC15 is a YAP-regulated gene that forms a feedback loop with YAP. Notably, PA drives the ZDHHC15-YAP feedback loop, thus enforces YAP signaling, and hence promotes tumor metastasis in murine xenografts. In addition, it is shown that ZDHHC15 associates with Kidney and brain protein (KIBRA, also known as WW- and C2 domain-containing protein 1, WWC1), an upstream component of Hippo signaling, and mediates its palmitoylation. KIBRA palmitoylation leads to its degradation and regulates its subcellular localization and activity toward the Hippo/YAP pathway. Moreover, PA enhances KIBRA palmitoylation and degradation. It is further shown that combinatorial targeting of YAP and fatty acid synthesis exhibits augmented effects against metastasis formation in mice fed with a Palm diet.

  @article{ , abstract = {Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) travel through the vasculature to seed secondary sites and serve as direct precursors of metastatic outgrowth for many solid tumors. Heterotypic cell clusters form between CTCs and white blood cells (WBCs) and recent studies report that a majority of these WBCs are neutrophils in patient and mouse models. The lab discovered that CTCs produce tubulin-based protrusions, microtentacles (McTNs), which promote reattachment, retention in distant sites during metastasis and formation of tumor cell clusters. Neutrophil-CTC clusters help CTCs survive the harsh vascular environment to promote successful metastasis, however, the specific mechanism of this interaction is not fully understood. Utilizing TetherChip technology, it is found that primary and differentiated neutrophils produce McTNs composed of detyrosinated and acetylated α-tubulin and vimentin. Neutrophil McTNs aid in cluster formation, migration, and reattachment, which are suppressed with the tubulin-depolymerizing agent, Vinorelbine. Co-culturing differentiated neutrophils and tumor cells formed heterotypic clusters that enhanced migration. CTC-neutrophil clusters have higher metastatic efficiency, and by demonstrating that neutrophils form McTNs, a new possible mechanism for how neutrophils interact with tumor cells is revealed.

  @article{ , abstract = {Atherosclerosis and its associated cardio-cerebrovascular complications remain the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Current lipid-lowering therapies reduce only approximately one-third of the cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, vascular restenosis and thrombotic events following surgical interventions for severe vascular stenosis significantly contribute to treatment failure. This highlights the urgent need for novel therapeutic targets to manage atherosclerosis and prevent restenosis and thrombosis after vascular injury. This study identifies TTK protein kinase (TTK) as a key regulator of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic switching in the context of postinjury neointimal formation and atherosclerosis. Mechanistically, TTK upregulation in VSMCs phosphorylates p120-catenin, leading to β-catenin nuclear accumulation and dissociation of the myocardin (MYOCD)/serum response factor (SRF) complex. Deletion of TTK specifically in VSMCs reduces postinjury neointimal formation in vascular injury models and attenuates atherosclerotic lesions in ApoE −/− mice. Notably, oral administration of the TTK inhibitor CFI-402257 mitigated neointimal formation without impairing reendothelialization and reduced atherosclerotic lesions in ApoE −/− mice without altering lipid levels.

Targeted and efficient pharmaceutical therapy of elevated ICP is not currently available, as the molecular mechanisms governing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) secretion are largely unresolved. To resolve the quantitative contribution of key choroid plexus transport proteins, this study employs mice with genetic knockout and/or viral choroid plexus-specific knockdown of aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and the Na + , K + , 2Cl − cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) for in vivo determinations of CSF dynamics, ex vivo choroid plexus for transporter-mediated clearance of a CSF K + load, and patient CSF for [K + ] quantification. CSF secretion and ICP management occur independently of choroid plexus AQP1 expression, whereas both parameters are reduced by 40% upon choroid plexus NKCC1 knockdown. Elevation of [K + ] CSF increases the choroid plexus Na + /K + -ATPase activity, and favors inwardly-directed net NKCC1 transport, which, together, promote CSF K + clearance, while maintaining undisturbed CSF secretion rates. CSF from patients with post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus does not display elevated [K + ] CSF , suggesting that NKCC1 maintains net outward transport direction during post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus formation.

However, the complexity of the underlying mechanisms has largely confined previous studies to liquid drop evaporation under atmospheric conditions. In this study, the first comprehensive investigation of the evaporation dynamics of conducting polymer-containing drops under controlled vacuum environments is presented. Utilizing high-speed imaging of a drop within a vacuum chamber, it is observed that the evaporation of a sessile drop under vacuum conditions unfolds through four distinct stages: Constant Contact Radius (CCR), Constant Contact Angle (CCA), Increasing Contact Angle (ICA), and Stick and Slip (S&S) modes. The detailed analysis of the force balance reveals that the depinning dynamics of the contact line, significantly driven by vacuum-induced forces, are the primary factor distinguishing these evaporation modes. A modified diffusion-limited model specifically tailored for vacuum conditions is further developed, which closely aligns with the experimental data on volume reduction over time.

This work introduces an active analog front-end fabricated with amorphous Indium-Gallium-Zinx-Oxide (a-IGZO) Thin-Film Transistors (TFTs) on foil capable of active matrix multiplexing. The circuit achieves only 70nV per sqrt(Hz) input referred noise, consuming 46µW, or 3.5mW cm −2 . It demonstrates for the first time in literature a flexible front-end with a noise efficiency factor comparable with Silicon solutions (NEF = 9.8), which is more than 10X lower compared to previously reported flexible front-ends. These results have been achieved using a modified bootstrap-load amplifier. The front end is tested by playing through it recordings obtained from a conventional BCI system. A gesture classification based on the flexible front-end outputs achieves 94% accuracy. Using a flexible active front end can improve the state-of-the-art in high channel count BCI systems by lowering the multiplexer noise and enabling larger areas of the brain to be monitored while reducing power density.

The findings show that insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP) 7 exhibits a novel biological function in attenuating vascular permeability and enhancing vascular wall integrity. The potential underlying mechanism involves the up-regulation of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) expression by IGFBP7 on endothelial cell membrane, followed by activation of the downstream PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and upregulated expression of the tight junction protein zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1).

• (2025). Synergistic anticancer strategy targeting ECM stiffness: Integration of matrix softening and mechanical signal transduction blockade in primary liver cancers. ADVS, 12(6), 2403040. (www)

  @article{ , abstract = {The development of primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC] and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ICC]) is linked to its physical microenvironment, particularly extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness. Potential anticancer strategies targeting ECM stiffness include prevention/reversal of the stiffening process and disruption of the response of cancer cells to mechanical signals from ECM. However, each strategy has limitations. Therefore, the authors propose integrating them to maximize their strengths. Compared with HCC, ICC has a stiffer ECM and a worse prognosis. Therefore, ICC is selected to investigate mechanisms underlying the influence of ECM stiffness on cancer progression and application of the integrated anticancer strategy targeting ECM stiffness. In summary, immunofluorescence results for 181 primary liver cancer tissue chips (ICC, n = 91; HCC, n = 90) and analysis of TCGA mRNA-sequencing demonstrate that ECM stiffness can affect phenotypes of primary liver cancers. The YAP1/ABHD11-AS1/STAU2/ZYX/p-YAP1 pathway is a useful entry point for exploration of specific mechanisms of mechanical signal conduction from the ECM in ICC cells and their impact on cancer progression. Moreover, a synergistic anticancer strategy targeting ECM stiffness (ICCM@NPs + siABHD11-AS1@BAPN) is constructed by integrating ECM softening and blocking intracellular mechanical signal transduction in ICC and can provide insights for the treatment of cancers characterized by stiff ECM.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Zefeng Shen and Liye Tao and Yali Wang and Yiwei Zhu and Haoyu Pan and Yijun Li and Shi Jiang and Junhao Zheng and Jingwei Cai and Yang Liu and Kainan Lin and Shihao Li and Yifan Tong and Liqing Shangguan and Junjie Xu and Xiao Liang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202403040}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {6}, pages = {2403040}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by extensive skin and internal organ fibrosis. However, the mechanism underlying fibrosis remains unclear, and effective treatments for halting or reversing fibrosis are lacking. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing is used to obtain a comprehensive overview of skin cells from patients with SSc and healthy controls. A subset of basal cells with high chitinase 3-like 1 (Chi3L1) expression, which potentially plays an important role in fibroblast activation, is identified in SSc. Subsequently, patients with SSc are present with increased expression of Chi3L1 in the skin and serum, and elevated serum levels are associated with skin induration and pulmonary function. Furthermore, Chi3L1 promoted the differentiation of SSc dermal fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, and Chi3L1-deficient (Chi3L1-/-) mice showed amelioration of fibrosis in a bleomycin-induced SSc (BLM-SSc) model. Mechanistically, Chi3L1 mediates fibroblast activation primarily by interacting with interleukin-17 receptor A (IL-17RA), thereby initiating downstream nuclear factor kappa B and mitogen-activated protein kinases signaling pathways. Moreover, the anti-fibrotic effect of IL-17RA antagonists in BLM-SSc mice is demonstrated. In conclusion, Chi3L1 is a potential biomarker for the degree of fibrosis in SSc.

  @article{ , abstract = {Membrane processes are promising for energy-saving industrial applications. However, efficient separation for some valuable gas mixtures with similar characteristics, such as CH 4 /N 2 and O 2 /N 2 , remains extremely challenging. Metal–organic framework (MOF) membranes have been attracting intensive attention for gas sieving, but it is difficult to manufacture MOF membranes in scalability and precisely tune their transport property. In this study, Gel-thermal processing of linker-mixed MOF crystal-glass composite membranes is reported directly, with the mechanism of adjusting metal-linker bond strengths and angles to disrupt long-range periodicity of MOFs and promote glass phase formation, for sharply sorption-preferential gas separation. This strategy can be realized by using a simple, solvent/precursor-less, and cost-effective gel-thermal approach with two steps of gel coating and thermal conversion, thereby constructing crystal-glass composite membranes in a controllable, processable, versatile, and environmentally friendly route. Moreover, the mixed linkers enable preferential gas affinities and the ultramicroporous glasses can eliminate any membrane defects. The membranes exhibit outstanding gas separation performance for the challenging systems of CH 4 /N 2 and O 2 /N 2 , with mixture selectivities up to 9.3 and 9.6, respectively, far exceeding those of polymer, MOF, and mixed-matrix membranes.

The study reveals that transcription regulator cyclin-dependent kinase7 (CDK7) is a promising target to circumvent TNBC's inherent resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors. Combining CDK4/6 and CDK7 inhibitors significantly enhances therapeutic effectiveness, leading to a marked decrease in cholesterol biosynthesis within cells. This effect is achieved through reduced activity of the transcription factor forkhead box M1 (FOXM1), which normally increases cholesterol production by inducing SREBF1 expression. Furthermore, this dual inhibition strategy attenuates the recruitment of sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1 (SREBP1) and p300 to genes essential for cholesterol synthesis, thus hindering tumor growth.

Here, it is demonstrated that PBRM1 knockdown induced M1 macrophage polarization and infiltration, which enhanced the efficacy of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in RCC.

  @article{ , abstract = {High serum level of palmitic acid(PA) is implicated in pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. PA serves as the substrate for protein palmitoylation. However, it is still unknown whether palmitoylation is involved in PA-induced cardiovascular dysfunction. Here, in clinical cohort studies of 1040 patients with coronary heart disease, high level of PA is associated with risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and death. In ApoE −/− mice, 10 mg/kg −1 PA treatment induces blood pressure elevation, cardiac contractile dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerotic plaqueformation. In endothelial cells, inhibition of palmitoylation bypalmitoyl-transferase inhibitor 2-BP eliminates PA-induced endothelial injury, whereas promotion of palmitoylation by depalmitoylase inhibitor ML349 exacerbates the harmful effect of PA. Palmitoyl-proteomics analysis identifies pyruvate kinase isozyme type M2 (PKM2) as the palmitoylated protein responsible for PA-induced endothelial injury, and Cys31 as the predominant palmitoylated site. PKM2-C31S mutants (cysteine replaced by serine) prevents PA-induced endothelial injury. Endothelial-specific AAV-C31S PKM2 endo ameliorates cardiovascular dysfunction caused by PA in ApoE −/− mice. Mechanistically, PKM2-C31 palmitoylation impairs PKM2 tetramerization to inhibit its pyruvate kinase activity and endothelial glycolysis.

The addition of TFSP effectively delays and regulates the crystallization and growth process of the perovskite film for larger grains and fewer defects, and it effectively improves the coverage of self-assembled molecules for efficient charge transport. The multiple active points of TFSP induce a strong binding affinity with uncoordinated defects in the perovskite film. Moreover, the high fluorine content of TFSP induces strong electronegativity to establish a high binding strength between the perovskite film and electron transport layer.

  @article{ , abstract = {Implantable peripheral nerve electrodes are crucial for monitoring health and alleviating symptoms of chronic diseases. Advanced compliant electrodes have been developed because of their biomechanical compatibility. However, these mechanically tissue-like electrodes suffer from unmanageable operating forces, leading to high risks of nerve injury and fragile electrode-tissue interfaces. Here, a peripheral nerve electrode is developed that simultaneously fulfills the criteria of body temperature softening and tissue-like modulus (less than 0.8 MPa at 37 °C) after implantation. The central core is altered from the tri-arm crosslinker to the star-branched monomer to kill two birds (close the translation temperature to 37 °C and decrease the modulus after implantation) with one stone. Furthermore, the decreased interfacial impedance (325.1 ± 46.9 Ω at 1 kHz) and increased charge storage capacity (111.2 ± 5.8 mC cm −2 ) are achieved by an in situ electrografted conductive polymer on the strain-insensitive conductive network of Au nanotubes. The electrodes are readily wrapped around nerves and applied for long-term stimulation in vivo with minimal inflammation.

  @article{ , abstract = {Radioactive iodine-125 ( 125 I) seed implantation, a brachytherapy technique, effectively kills tumor cells via X-rays and gamma rays, serving as an alternative therapeutic option following the failure of frontline treatments for various solid tumors. However, tumor radioresistance limits its efficacy. Hydrogen gas has anticancer properties and can enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy. However, its role in radiotherapy sensitization has rarely been reported. Many current hydrogen delivery methods involve hydrogen-generating nanomaterials, such as magnesium-based nanomaterials. This study introduces an AZ31 magnesium alloy 125 I seed strand (termed AMASS) with pH-dependent slow-release hydrogen characteristics and excellent mechanical properties. AMASS can be implanted into tumors via minimally invasive surgery, releasing hydrogen around the 125 I seeds. In vitro experiments showed that hydrogen from AMASS degradation significantly inhibited tumor proliferation, increased apoptosis, disrupted redox homeostasis and mitochondrial membrane potential, reduced adenosine triphosphate levels, and induced DNA damage due to 125 I radiation. In mouse xenograft and rabbit liver tumor models, hydrogen from AMASS showed superior therapeutic effects compared with 125 I seeds alone, with no noticeable side effects. In addition, AMASS has a uniform radiation dose distribution and simple implantation. Therefore, hydrogen from AMASS enhanced 125 I seed efficacy, supporting the further promotion and application of 125 I seed implantation in cancer therapy.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Pan Hu and Letao Lin and Guanyu Chen and Dengyao Liu and Huanqing Guo and Meigui Xiao and Zhihui Zhong and Guang Yang and Bingchen Xu and Dongcun Huang and Sheng Peng and Yong Li and Yanling Zhang and Tao Huang and Fujun Zhang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202412263}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {5}, pages = {2412263}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Mammalian pre-implantation development is a complex process involving sophisticated regulatory dynamics. WD repeat domain 36 (WDR36) is known to play a critical role in mouse early embryonic development, but its regulatory function in human embryogenesis is still elusive due to limited access to human embryos. The human pluripotent stem cell-derived blastocyst-like structure, termed a blastoid, offers an alternative means to study human development in a dish. In this study, after verifying that WDR36 inhibition disrupted polarization in mouse early embryos, it is further demonstrated that WDR36 interference can block human blastoid formation, dominantly hindering the trophectoderm lineage commitment. Both transcriptomics and targeted metabolomics analyses revealed that WDR36 interference downregulated glucose metabolism. WDR36 can interact with glycolytic metabolic protein lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), thereby positively regulating glycolysis during the late stage of human blastoid formation.

The study focuses on one specific class of problem, the detection of single amino acid variants involving proline, and reports a Pro-selective electrochemiluminescence (ECL) method. To develop this method, the A1-/A2- variants of milk's β-casein protein are investigated because it is a well-established example and abundant samples are readily available. Specifically, β-casein has 209 amino acids with 34 (or 35) proline residues: the A1-variant has a Pro-to-His substitution at position 67 (relative to the A2 variant). The study shows that proline's strong luminescence allows the generic discrimination of: Pro from other amino acids; an A2-oligopeptide from an A1-oligopeptide; the A2-β-casein variant from the A1-variant; and commercially-available A2 milks from A1-containing regular milks. The evidence indicates that luminescence depends on proline content and accessibility, as well as signal quenching. Compared to conventional immunoassays, the ECL method is simple, rapid, and inexpensive. Further, the ECL-method is Pro-selective (vs molecularly-selective like typical immunoassays) which should make it broadly useful for studying the role of proline in biology and especially useful for tracking the digestion of proline-rich proteins in the diet.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Eunkyoung Kim and Chen-Yu Chen and Monica J.

This includes tissues from animals, including humans and other mammals; birds; fish; reptiles (e.g., lizards); amphibians (e.g., frogs), and invertebrates (e.g., shrimp, worms). Gels can also be adhered to soft tissues from plants, including fruit (e.g., plums) and vegetables (e.g; carrot). In all cases, EA is induced by a low electric field (DC, 10 V) applied for a short time (20 s). After the field is removed, the adhesion persists. The adhesion can also be reversed by applying the field with opposite polarity. In mammals, EA is strong for many tissues (e.g., arteries, muscles, and cornea), but not others (e.g., adipose, brain). Tissues with anisotropic structure show anisotropic adhesion strength by EA. The higher the concentration of anionic polymers in a tissue, the stronger its adhesion to cationic gels.

Here, it is shown that intermittent vibration, such as cycles of 30 s on followed by 30 s off, is more effective in inducing sleep compared to continuous vibration. A clear evidence is further provided that allatostatin A (AstA)-GABA signaling mediates short-term intermittent vibration-induced sleep (iVIS) by inhibiting octopaminergic arousal neurons through activating GABA A receptors. The existence of iVIS in mice is corroborated, implicating the GABAergic system in this process.

The ferromagnetic properties of Ni enable simple magnetic filtration, eliminating the filtration issues associated with Sn particles.

However, reports on ionogels remain limited owing to the contradiction between the flexibility required for stretching and the rigidity necessary for RTP and load-bearing within the same ionogels. Here, a facile strategy is reported to enhance the toughness and extend the RTP of ionogels by salting-out-induced microphase separation, which results in the formation of an IL-rich phase (soft) for stretching and ionic conduction and a polymer-rich phase (stiff) for energy dissipation and clustering-triggered phosphorescence. The obtained ionogels exhibit high stretchability (≈400% strain), toughness (≈∼20 MJ m −3 ), ionic conductivity (8.4 mS cm −1 ), and ultralong afterglow lifetime (112.4 ms). This strategy is applicable to chromophores with color-tunable phosphorescence. By leveraging observable full-color RTP and real-time electrical signals in response to diverse stimuli (i.e., stretching and pressing), an intelligent grasping strategy is developed for robust hand pose reconstruction. In addition, a tactile-visual fusion recognition keyboard is created with dual functionality of information encryption and signal transmission. The ease of fabrication, wide tunability, and multifunctionality will help expand the scope of ionogels for smart devices.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xuefeng Wei and Zexi Gou and Jianting Ye and L.

Extra intracellular Cu induces cuproptosis and chemodynamic therapy (CDT), which further cascades immunogenic cell death (ICD) and activates antitumor immune responses.

Herein, a biomimic nanodrug (ECNM) is fabricated, of which ES, Cu 2+ and NLG919 (an IDO1 inhibitor) are integrated via a self-assembly process and subsequently coated with 4T1 cell membrane. ECNM can overcome the typical drawbacks of ES, ameliorating the stability and half-life of ES by membrane-coating and enhancing its tumor accumulation and internalization via homotypic targeting. It is worth mentioning that, the addition of NLG919 is also beneficial to the system circulation stability of ES and reduces the non-specific ES release. After internalization, ECNM dissociates via the glutathione-responsive process and exhibits comprehensive antitumor capabilities, including cuproptosis, CDT and TIM reversing, thereby eliciting ICD and optimizing the antitumor immune response. Furthermore, ECNM not only accelerates tumor regression but also gains a strong abscopal effect and displays the potential of tumor vaccination.

At present, the main treatment strategies for HL are hearing aids and cochlear implants (CIs), which cannot achieve a radical cure for HL.

However, the specific cellular and neural circuit mechanisms underlying the generation of RRB remain unclear. In this study, it is reported that the absence of the ASD-related protein Neuroligin 1 (NLGN1) in dopamine receptor D2-expressing medium spiny neurons (D2-MSNs) in the dorsal striatum is associated with the duration and frequency of self-grooming and digging behaviors. The Nlgn1 -deficient D2-MSNs are hyperactivated, which correlates with excessive self-grooming and digging behaviors. Inhibiting the activity of D2-MSNs reduces the duration and frequency of these RRBs. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the generation of self-grooming and digging behaviors depends on distinct patterns of D2-MSN activity. Finally, through single-nucleus RNA sequencing (sn-RNAseq) and protein detection verification, it is revealed that the overactivation of protein kinase C (PKC) in Nlgn1 -deficient mice contributes to excessive repetitive behaviors and increased neuronal excitability.

The utility of PRISM-MS is demonstrated through the characterization of complex metabolome changes in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated microglial cells and human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia. Translation of single cell results to endogenous microglia in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures indicates that LPS-activation involves changes of the itaconate-to-taurine ratio and alterations in neuron-to-glia glutamine-glutamate shuttling.

The nonuniformly arranged Pt particles with various interparticle distances cause the heterogeneous ionomer density, inducing the heterogeneous oxygen transport. Increasing the Pt-Pt interparticle distance from 2 to 5 nm substantially reduces the local oxygen transport resistance by over 50%. The uniform arrangement of Pt particles makes the ionomer layer density more homogeneous, resulting in more uniform oxygen transport. Therefore, uniformly arranging Pt particles with an interparticle distance of >5 nm on carbon support is preferred for reducing local oxygen transport resistance and improving the homogeneity of oxygen transport.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Aoxin Ran and Linhao Fan and Chasen Tongsh and Jiaqi Wang and Zhengguo Qin and Qing Du and Meng Ni and Kui Jiao}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202409755}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {5}, pages = {2409755}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Decellularized allografts have emerged as promising candidates for vascular bypass grafting, owing to their inherent bioactivity and minimal immunogenicity. However, graft failure that results from suboptimal regeneration and pathological remodeling has hindered their clinical adoption. Recent advances in vascular biology highlight the pivotal role of COUP-TFII in orchestrating endothelial identity, angiogenesis, safeguarding against atherosclerosis, and mitigating vascular calcification. Here, plasmid DNA (pDNA) encoding COUP-TFII is incorporated into decellularized allografts to realize localized delivery. Comprehensive in vitro investigation complemented by a bone marrow transplantation model on genetic-lineage-tracing mouse revealed the underlying mechanisms of COUP-TFII in regulating vascular regeneration and remodeling. COUP-TFII augmented endothelialization and inhibited calcification in decellularized allografts by modulating the Ang1/Tie2/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway that dictates the fate of Sca-1 + stem/progenitor cells. Heparin-polyethyleneimine nanoparticles (HEPI) are prepared as COUP-TFII pDNA nanocarriers (COUP-TFII@HPEI) and used to modify decellularized allografts, achieving long-term and stable overexpression of COUP-TFII. Functionalized grafts are evaluated in rat abdominal artery replacement models, demonstrating enhanced neo-artery regeneration without calcification.

  @article{ , abstract = {Despite rapid advancements in anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) technology, achieving pure water-fed AEMWE remains critical for system simplification and cost reduction. Under pure water-fed conditions, electrochemical reactions occur solely at active sites connected to ionic networks. This study introduces an eco-friendly patterning technique leveraging membrane swelling properties by applying mechanical stress during dehydration under fixed constraints. The method increases active sites by creating additional hydroxide ion pathways at the membrane-electrode interface, eliminating the need for additional ionomers in the electrode. This innovation facilitates ion conduction via locally shortened pathways. Membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) with patterned commercial membranes demonstrated significantly improved performance and durability compared to MEAs with conventional catalyst-coated substrates and flat membranes under pure water-fed conditions. The universal applicability of this technique was confirmed using in-house fabricated anion exchange membranes, achieving exceptional current densities of 13.7 A cm −2 at 2.0 V in 1.0 M potassium hydroxide (KOH) and 2.8 A cm −2 at 2.0 V in pure water at 60 °C.

  @article{ , abstract = {Aberrant upregulation of hepatic lipogenesis induced by chronic and excessive alcohol consumption is a critical driver of the progression of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), however, no effective approaches inhibiting lipogenesis are currently available for treating ALD patients. Moreover, little is known about whether and how nonethanol ingredients in alcoholic beverages regulate the pathogenesis of ALD. Here the discovery of a small molecule that activates the production and secretion of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is reported. It is shown that the activator ethyl lactate, a nonethanol ingredient found in distilled liquors, ameliorates alcoholic hepatosteatosis, inflammation and acute-on-chronic liver injury by stimulating FGF21. In response to chronic-plus-binge ethanol feeding or fasting, ethyl lactate mimics lipogenesis lowering effects by stimulating FGF21 production through the NAD + -dependent deacetylase sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) signaling pathway. These ethyl lactate-mediated beneficial effects are abolished by inhibition of SIRT1 through injection of EX527. Importantly, FGF21 deficiency in hepatocytes blocks the downregulation of lipogenesis by ethyl lactate and exacerbates alcoholic steatosis, inflammation and liver injury.

Precisely controllable strategies combining sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) gas therapy with cancer immunotherapy can address these issues but remain lacking. Herein an “activatable SO 2 nanosonosensitizer” for precise sono-gaseous checkpoint trimodal therapy of orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is reported, whose full activity is initiated by ultrasound (US) irradiation in the reducing TME. This “activatable SO 2 nanosonosensitizer,” Aza-DNBS nanoparticles (NPs), are established by self-assembling Aza-boron-dipyrromethene based sonosensitizer molecules and 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonate (DNBS)-caged SO 2 prodrug. The activity of Aza-DNBS NPs is initially silenced, and the sonodynamic, gaseous, and immunosuppressive TME reprogramming activities are precisely awakened under US irradiation. Due to the glutathione-responsiveness of Aza-DNBS NPs, Aza-DNBS NPs can generate large amounts of SO 2 for gas therapy-enhanced SDT, which triggers robust immunogenic cell death activation and reprogramming of the immunosuppressive TME, thereby significantly suppressing orthotopic tumor growth and delaying lung metastasis.

Probe-based data storage, such as mechanical storage using an atomic force microscope tip, is a potential solution with storage densities exceeding hard disks.

Here, a low-cost and robust polymer system is reported that allows repeated writing, reading and erasing. The polymer is made by inverse vulcanization, providing a network of S─S bonds that can be broken and re-formed repeatedly. This property is leveraged in mechanical indentation to encode information, and thermal S─S metathesis and polymer re-flow to erase. Exquisite control of indentation depth is possible over 1–30 nm. This control enables data encoding not just as a function of the presence or absence of an indent, but also indentation depth. This ternary coding increases the data density four-fold over binary coding. Furthermore, the coding can be done at room temperature which is rare for mechanical information storage. The low cost, ease of synthesis, and dynamic S─S bonds in these polymers are a promising advance in polymer storage media for probe-based data storage.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Abigail K.

  @article{ , abstract = {Tumor therapeutic strategies based on mitochondrial damage have become an emerging trend. However, the low drug delivery efficiency caused by lysosomal sequestration and the activation of protective mitochondrial autophagy severely restricts the therapeutic efficacy. Herein, an in situ transformable nanoparticle named KCKT is developed to promote lysosomal escape and directly damage mitochondria while blocking mitochondrial autophagy. KCKT exhibits acid responsiveness for precise self-assembly into nanofibers within the lysosomes of cancer cells. The massive accumulation of nanofibers and excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under sonodynamic therapy synergistically induce lysosomal damage. This facilitates the escape of nanofibers from lysosomal sequestration, thereby enhancing drug delivery. Subsequently, the escaped nanofibers specifically aggregate around the mitochondria for long-term retention and generate ROS under ultrasound irradiation to induce mitochondrial damage. Notably, due to lysosomal dysfunction, damaged mitochondria cannot be cleared by autophagy, further aggravating oxidative damage. These results reveal that KCKT effectively improves drug delivery and mitochondria-targeted therapy efficiency by blocking protective autophagy.

  @article{ , abstract = {Epigenetic control of cell fates is a critical determinant to maintain cell type stability and permit differentiation during embryonic development. However, the epigenetic control mechanisms are not well understood. Here, it is shown that the histone acetyltransferase reader protein BRD8 impairs the conversion of primed mouse EpiSCs (epiblast stem cells) to naive mouse ESCs (embryonic stem cells). BRD8 works by maintaining histone acetylation on promoters and transcribed gene bodies. BRD8 is responsible for maintaining open chromatin at somatic genes, and histone acetylation at naive-specific genes. When Brd8 expression is reduced, chromatin accessibility is unchanged at primed-specific genes, but histone acetylation is reduced. Conversely, naive-specific genes has reduced repressive chromatin marks and acquired accessible chromatin more rapidly during the cell type conversion. It is shown that this process requires active histone deacetylation to promote the conversion of primed to naive. This data supports a model for BRD8 reading histone acetylation to accurately localize the genome-wide binding of the histone acetyltransferase KAT5.

  @article{ , abstract = {Spinel-type nickel ferrite (Ni x Fe 3-x O 4 , x≤1) is a widely used electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Due to the lower hybridization of metal- d and oxygen- p orbitals, the OER process on Ni x Fe 3-x O 4 follows the sluggish adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM). Generally, activating the lattice oxygen to trigger the lattice-oxygen-mediated mechanism (LOM) can enhance the OER activity. Herein, to trigger the LOM pathway while maintaining high stability, iron foam (IF)-supported Ni 0.75 Fe 2.25 O 4 (NiFeO) with geometrical defects of [NiO 6 ] (nickel cation coordinated with six oxygen anions) units and higher ratio of Fe to Ni cations in octahedral sites ( d -NiFe HR O/IF) is prepared by ion-exchanging with polar aprotic solvent followed by annealing. As a result, as-synthesized d -NiFe HR O/IF exhibits excellent activity (at 295 mV overpotential to achieve 100 mA cm −2 ), fast kinetics (Tafel slope of only 34.6 mV dec −1 ), and high stability (maintaining a current density of 100 mA cm −2 over 130 h) for the OER. The theoretical calculations reveal that the construction of octahedral defect in Ni x Fe 3-x O 4 enhances the overlap of Fe- d and O- p orbitals, which can activate the lattice oxygen. Therefore, increasing the ratio of Fe to Ni will further improve the lattice oxygen redox activity, and thus trigger the fast LOM pathway, ultimately facilitating the OER process.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yang Peng and Xu Zhao and Yiqun Shao and Xin Yue and Zhuofeng Hu and Shaoming Huang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202409024}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {5}, pages = {2409024}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Chemoresistance poses a critical obstacle in bladder cancer (BCa) treatment, and effective interventions are currently limited. Elevated oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) has been linked to cancer stemness, a determinant of chemoresistance. However, the mechanisms underlying increased OXPHOS during cancer cell chemoresistance remain unclear. This study revealed that the mitochondrial translational activator of cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (TACO1) is linked to stemness and cisplatin resistance in BCa cells. Mechanistically, mitochondrial TACO1 enhances the translation of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (MTCO1), promoting mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) by upregulating OXPHOS, consequently driving cancer stemness and cisplatin resistance. Intriguingly, the mitochondrial translocation of TACO1 is mediated by the heat shock protein 90 β (HSP90β), a process that requires circFOXK2 as a scaffold for the TACO1-HSP90β interaction. The mutations at the binding sites of TACO1-circFOXK2-HSP90β disturb the ternary complex and inhibit cancer stemness and cisplatin resistance in BCa cells by suppressing the MTCO1/OXPHOS/mtROS axis. Clinically, BCa patients with increased mitochondrial TACO1 expression respond poorly to cisplatin treatment.

  @article{ , abstract = {Understanding tissue-specific RNA landscapes is essential for uncovering the functional mechanisms of key organs in mammals. However, current knowledge remains limited, as short-read RNA sequencing—the predominant method for assessing gene expression—depends on incomplete gene annotations and struggles to resolve the diverse transcripts produced by genes. To address these limitations, an integrative approach combining nanopore direct RNA sequencing (DRS), ATAC-Seq, and short-read RNA-seq is used. This method enabled the analysis of RNA landscapes across major mouse organs under fasting and fed conditions, representing two extremes of the caloric cycle. This study uncovered tens of thousands of novel transcripts and identified hundreds of genes with tissue-specific expression, revealing additional layers of regulated pathways within each organ that conventional short-read RNA-seq cannot resolve. By profiling transcript expression across multiple organs under identical conditions, it is conducted comparative analyses exposing significant differences in transcript isoforms and regulations. Moreover, nanopore DRS revealed dynamic changes in poly(A) tail length and m6A modifications of transcripts, many regulated in a tissue-specific manner. These changes likely contribute to functional differentiation and metabolic specialization of various organs.

Celastrol is used as a probe to determine its specific target, pyridoxine-5′-phosphate oxidase (PNPO). Increased levels of PNPO are associated with poor outcomes in MM patients, and PNPO promotes MM cell proliferation and induces osteoclast differentiation through exosomes. Mechanistically, PNPO oxidizes disheveled 3 M282 (DVL3), leading to abnormal activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Based on the critical sites of PNPO R95/K117 , Eltrombopag is identified as a potential therapeutic candidate for MM. In addition, the experiments showed its efficacy in mouse models. Eltrombopag inhibited the growth of MM cells and reduced bone lesions by disrupting the interaction between PNPO and DVL3, as supported by preliminary clinical trials.

  @article{ , abstract = {Atherosclerotic plaque rupture mainly contributes to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Insufficient repair of these plaques leads to thrombosis and subsequent ACS. Central to this process is the modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) phenotypes, emphasizing their pivotal role in atherosclerotic plaque stability and healing post-disruption. Here, an expansion of FSP1 + cells in a tandem stenosis (TS) model of atherosclerotic mice is unveiled, predominantly originating from VSMCs through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analyses and VSMC lineage tracing studies. Further investigation identified TEA domain transcription factor 1 (TEAD1) as the key transcription factor driving the trans-differentiation of VSMCs into fibroblast-like cells. In vivo experiments using a TS model of plaque rupture demonstrated that TEAD1 played a crucial role in promoting plaque stability and healing post-rupture through pharmacological or TEAD1-AAV treatments.

Moreover, MAD-iMSCs extracellular vesicles (EVs) can also upregulate mitochondrial Ca +2 in healthy cells.

In this study, systemic administration of PTX leads to a decrease in the expression of the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3a, while concurrently upregulating the expression of Gabrb1 mRNA and its encoded GABA A Rβ1 protein in the medial PFC (mPFC) of male mice.

This remodeling is characterized by an increase in chromatin accessibility, particularly at JUNB motif-enriched promoter regions proximal to transcription start sites of metabolic and pro-fibrotic genes.

  @article{ , abstract = {Liver metastasis is a common cause of death in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, but epigenetic remodeling and metabolic reprogramming for CRC liver metastasis remain unclear. The study revealed that the Lyn/RUVBL1 complex is highly expressed in CRC and is closely correlated with liver metastasis. On the one hand, ATAC-seq and HiCut suggested that Lyn/RUVBL1 regulates the expression of TRIB3 through the POL II-mediated chromatin conformation of TRIB3 and thus the expression of β-catenin. This promotes the proliferation and migration of CRC through β-catenin-mediated upregulation of MMP9 and VEGF. On the other hand, metabolomics revealed that Lyn/RUVBL1 regulates the expression of PGE2 through the enzyme COX2, thereby promoting arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism. CUT-Tag showed that Lyn/RUVBL1 silencing reduces the H3K27ac level in the COX2 promoter. Then, it is found that COX2 is regulated by the transcription factor FOXA1.

  @article{ , abstract = {Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is characterized by abnormal bile acid metabolites and altered gut microbiota, with no effective treatments available. Vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic, has emerged as a promising candidate. However, the mechanism by which vancomycin impacts the progression of PSC remains unknown. Mice treated with vancomycin exhibit increased hepatic collagen deposition and injury, due to the inhibition of intestinal FXR-FGF15/19 axis and the elevation of bile acid levels. These effects are associated with the reduction in Clostridia XIVa , especially Clostridium scindens ( C. scindens ). Gavage of C. scindens alleviates vancomycin-induced bile acid accumulation and liver fibrosis via activating intestinal FXR-FGF15/19 signaling. Similar effects are observed in mice treated with engineered Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 that are capable of expressing bile acid 7α-dehydratas (BaiE) from C. scindens (EcN-BaiE). Activating intestinal FXR-FGF15/19 signaling by fexaramine (Fex) or recombinant protein FGF19 reverse vancomycin-induced liver injury and fibrosis. These results demonstrate that long-term oral vancomycin exacerbates cholestatic liver injury, while C. scindens mitigates this effect by activating the intestinal FXR-FGF15/19 signaling pathway. This underscores the importance of monitoring bile acid levels in PSC patients receiving vancomycin treatment and suggests that C. scindens may serve as a potential therapeutic approach for PSC patients.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jintao Xiao and Yanliang Hou and Xingyang Luo and Yuhao Zhu and Wenhu Li and Bingbing Li and LinXiang Zhou and Xia Chen and Ying Guo and Xiaomei Zhang and Haiyue He and Xiaowei Liu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202406445}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {2}, number = {5}, pages = {2406445}, shortjournal = {Adv.

A cytokine-mediated positive feedback loop between KD platelets and monocytes is identified. KD platelet–monocyte aggregates (MPAs) are mediated by an initial interaction of P-selectin (cluster of differentiation 62P, CD62p) and its glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1). This is followed by a coordinated interaction of platelet glycoprotein (GP)Ibα with monocyte CD11b. Monocyte-activated platelets initiate transforming growth factor (TGF)β1 release, which results in nuclear localization of nuclear factor kappaB in monocytes, therefore, driving the phenotypic conversion of classical monocytes (CD14 + CD16 − ) into proinflammatory monocytes (CD14 + CD16 + ). The platelet-activated monocytes release interleukin-1 and tissue necrotic factor-α, which promote further platelet activation.

The HMP1G NPs responded to H + and glutathione in the TME, releasing Mn 2+ , GSNO, and 1-MT. The released Mn 2+ catalyzed the production of abundant reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide from hydrogen peroxide and GSNO, and the generated nitric oxide, synergistically with 1-MT, inhibited the accumulation of kynurenine mediated by IDO1 in the tumor. Mechanistically, HMP1G NPs downregulated tumor cell-derived IDO1 via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3/interleukin signaling axis to improve kynurenine/tryptophan metabolism and immunosuppression.

In this paper, a new strategy based on both cases for the light-matter-interaction enhancement in a direct bandgap semiconductor – lead halide perovskite CsPbBr 3 – by using electric pulse-driven structural disorder, is addressed. The disordered state allows the generation of confined photons, and the formation of an electronic continuum of static/dynamic defect states across the forbidden gap (Urbach bridge). Both mechanisms underlie photon-momentum-enabled electronic Raman scattering (ERS) and single-photon anti-Stokes photoluminescence (PL) under sub-band pump.

  @article{ , abstract = {Proteins play an essential role in various biological and engineering processes. Large protein language models (PLMs) present excellent potential to reshape protein research by accelerating the determination of protein functions and the design of proteins with the desired functions. The prediction and design capacity of PLMs relies on the representation gained from the protein sequences. However, the lack of crucial 3D structure information in most PLMs restricts the prediction capacity of PLMs in various applications, especially those heavily dependent on 3D structures. To address this issue, S-PLM is introduced as a 3D structure-aware PLM that utilizes multi-view contrastive learning to align the sequence and 3D structure of a protein in a coordinated latent space. S-PLM applies Swin-Transformer on AlphaFold-predicted protein structures to embed the structural information and fuses it into sequence-based embedding from ESM2. Additionally, a library of lightweight tuning tools is provided to adapt S-PLM for diverse downstream protein prediction tasks. The results demonstrate S-PLM's superior performance over sequence-only PLMs on all protein clustering and classification tasks, achieving competitiveness comparable to state-of-the-art methods requiring both sequence and structure inputs.

Herein, molecular expression and proteolytic activity of three distinct proteases, namely neutrophil elastase, matrix metalloproteinases, cysteine cathepsins (cathepsin-K and cathepsin-B) are comprehensively profiled, in the subcutaneous host response of immuno-competent mice against different biomaterial implants. Quantitative non-invasive monitoring with activatable fluorescent probes reveals that different microparticulate materials induce distinct levels of protease activity with degradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid inducing the strongest signal compared to nondegradable materials such as polystyrene and silica oxide. Furthermore, protein expression of selected proteases, attributable to both their inactive and active forms, notably deviates from their activities associated only with their active forms. Protease activity exhibits positive correlations with protein expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 6 but negative correlation with pro-fibrotic cytokine transforming growth factor β1.

While assessed in neurons, astrocytes, and microglia, its role is far less investigated in myelinating glia, including Schwann cells (SCs), responsible for peripheral nerve myelination. Remarkably, the dysregulation in endosomal trafficking is emerging as a pathophysiological mechanism underlying peripheral neuropathies, such as demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) diseases. By knocking out Beclin 1 in SCs here a novel mouse model ( Becn1 cKO) is generated, developing a severe and progressive neuropathy, accompanied by involuntary tremors, body weight loss, and premature death.

However, disease relapse and progression particularly due to persistent leukemia stem cells (LSCs) remain a big challenge in the clinic. Therefore, validation of the therapeutic vulnerability in LSCs is urgently needed. This study verifies the critical role of protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) in the maintenance of CML LSCs. It is found that PRMT1 promotes the survival and serially plating abilities of human primary CML LSCs. Genetic deletion of Prmt1 significantly delays the leukemogenesis and impairs the self-renewal of LSCs in BCR-ABL – driven CML mice. PRMT1 regulates LSCs and leukemia development depending on its methyltransferase activity. Pharmacological inhibition of PRMT1 activity by MS023 remarkably eliminates LSCs and prolongs the survival of CML mice. Mechanistical studies reveal that PRMT1 promotes transcriptional activation of ribosomal protein L29 (RPL29) via catalyzing asymmetric dimethylation of histone H4R3 (H4R3me2a) at its gene promoter region.

  @article{ , abstract = {For medically inoperable non-small cell lung cancer, microwave ablation (MWA) represents a super minimally invasive alternative treatment. However, tumor recurrence remains a concern. Here, it is demonstrated that the combination of MWA with Flt3L significantly inhibits tumor recurrence by CD8 + central memory T (T CM )-like cell-dependent antitumor immune responses within the tumor-draining lymph nodes (TdLN). TdLN-T CM -like cells encompassed both tumor-specific memory T (T TSM ) and progenitor-exhausted T (T PEX ) cells. The expansion of these cells markedly altered the differentiation of exhausted T cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME). T PEX predominantly differentiated into transitory effector-like exhausted T cells (T EX -int). The expansion of T TSM cells elicited by the combined therapy was reliant on conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) and was likely specifically dependent on the migratory cDC1s (Mig cDC1s) within the TdLN. The upregulation of ICOSL on migratory cDC1s was pivotal in initiating T TSM -like cell-mediated antitumor responses. Slc38a2 may be a critical gene responsible for the upregulation of ICOSL in Mig cDC1s following combined treatment. Finally, the combined treatment significantly enhanced the antitumor efficacy of immunotherapy based on PD-1 blockade. The research thereby afforded a novel strategic approach to forestall tumor recurrence after MWA therapy, while also providing the foundational proof-of-concept for impending clinical investigations.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Meixiang Wang and Jing Sang and Fengkuo Xu and Shulong Wang and Peng Liu and Ji Ma and Zhengtao Chen and Qi Xie and Zhigang Wei and Xin Ye}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202413181}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {4}, pages = {2413181}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Although previous investigations have shown that external force fields can induce CPL activity in nonchiral systems, the unique role of macroscopic external forces in inducing CPL has not been demonstrated at the level of molecule or molecular aggregate. Here, a canonical example of CPL generation by mechanical twisting in an achiral system consisting of a polymer matrix with embedded fluorescent molecules is presented. By carefully adjusting the twisting parameters in time and space, in conjunction with circular dichroism (CD), CPL, and 2D wide-angle X-ray scattering (2D WAXS) studies, a twisting-induced top-down chiral transfer mechanism derived from the molecular-level asymmetric rearrangement of fluorescent units is elucidated within polymers under external torsional forces. This top-down chiral transfer provides a simple, scalable, and versatile mechanical twisting strategy for the fabrication of CPL materials, allowing for fabricating full-color and handedness-tunable CPL fibers, where the macroscopic twist direction determines the CPL handedness.

Above its melting temperature ( T m ≈ 192 °C), three AlCl 3 molecules coordinate with each metal (M) atom (e.g., conventional Al and Mg, or even thermodynamically unfeasible Zn) to form metal-AlCl 3 complexes, M(AlCl 3 ) 3 .

Herein, a conceptual framework is developed to elucidate the interaction between RBS and FOIS interference, revealing that, beyond laser monochromacity, the self-correction characteristic of laser pulses also influences coherent superposition. Building upon this novel insight, a phase modulation method based on pseudorandom noise (PRN) code is first proposed to address coherent RBS stacking on returning FOIS interferences while preserving high laser monochromacity.

This design not only provides sufficient cytoplasm for SCM but also nicely keeps the cellular viability for the accurate transcriptomic analysis in the same cell. Integrative analysis of scMeT-seq reveals both dynamical and cell state-specific associations between metabolome and transcriptome in the macrophages with defined metabolic perturbations. Moreover, metabolite signatures are mapped to the single-cell trajectory and gene correlation network of macrophage transition, which allows the unsupervised functional interpretation of metabolome. Thus, the established scMeT-seq should lead to a new perspective in metabolic research by transforming metabolomics from a metabolite snapshot to a functional approach.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xiying Mao and Dandan Xia and Miao Xu and Yan Gao and Le Tong and Chen Lu and Weiqi Li and Runmin Xie and Qinghuai Liu and Dechen Jiang and Songtao Yuan}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202411276}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {4}, pages = {2411276}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Up to now, E-O modulation has become a critical technology in photonics, quantum optics, modern communication, etc. However, the design of E-O crystals with broadband availabilities and large E-O effect is still challenging since the E-O response is contributed by both electrons and phonons. Here, an electron-lattice synergistic coordination strategy is proposed for boosting the E-O response, and with the langasite as the subject, a novel crystal La 3 Zr 0.5 Ga 5 Si 0.5 O 14 (LZGS) is designed. By the rational introduction of the Zr 4+ ion in the octahedral site, it is found that the E-O response can be obviously improved attributed to the active 4 d orbitals of the Zr 4+ ion and the optical phonons of the flexible (ZrO 6 ) unit. This crystal also has advantages in transparency, laser damage threshold and E-O coefficient compared with the well-known E-O crystals. Moreover, broadband E-O modulation is also demonstrated in the lasers at wavelengths from 639 to 1991 nm.

  @article{ , abstract = {The electrophysiological signals recorded by cutaneous electrodes, known as body surface potentials (BSPs), are widely employed biomarkers in medical diagnosis. Despite their widespread application and success in detecting various conditions, the poor spatial resolution of traditional BSP measurements poses a limit to their diagnostic potential. Advancements in the field of bioelectronics have facilitated the creation of compact, high-quality, high-density recording arrays for cutaneous electrophysiology, allowing detailed spatial information acquisition as BSP maps (BSPMs). Currently, the design of electrode arrays for BSP mapping lacks a standardized framework, leading to customizations for each clinical study, limiting comparability, reproducibility, and transferability. This perspective proposes preliminary design guidelines, drawn from existing literature, rooted solely in the physical properties of electrophysiological signals and mathematical principles of signal processing. These guidelines aim to simplify and generalize the optimization process for electrode array design, fostering more effective and applicable clinical research. Moreover, the increased spatial information obtained from BSPMs introduces interpretation challenges. To mitigate this, two strategies are outlined: observational transformations that reconstruct signal sources for intuitive comprehension, and machine learning-driven diagnostics.

Focusing this challenge on the critical task of purifying perfluorocarbons in electronics industry, a divergent regulation strategy is reported that significantly improves the separation efficiency of low-concentration hexafluoroethane (C 2 F 6 ) from tetrafluoromethane (CF 4 ). This approach involves the selective shielding of open metal sites and the modulation of channel geometry within an electron-deficient ligand-based pore environment, thereby facilitating a C 2 F 6 dense-packing accommodation mode while weakening the CF 4 affinity due to the reduced host-guest interactions. Simultaneously enhanced C 2 F 6 adsorption and reduced CF 4 adsorption are achieved, resulting in record-high low-pressure C 2 F 6 uptake and C 2 F 6 /CF 4 selectivity. Comprehensive insights into the unique separation mechanism are illustrated through a combination of solid-state MAS nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR), molecular simulations, and meticulously designed comparative experiments.

However, iron carbonyls, the raw materials for wet chemical synthesis of Fe 5 C 2 , are expensive and toxic, which limits large-scale preparation. Here, a cost-effective and versatile method is proposed for the synthesis of Fe 5 C 2 nanoparticles (NPs) with nanosized zero-valent iron (abbreviated as NZVI, prepared by reducing iron salts or ball-milling iron powder) instead of iron carbonyls, achieving a cost reduction of 76.8%. Experimental characterizations revealed that NZVI obtained from the reduction of iron salts can catalyze the cracking of octadecylamine to form a carbonized atmosphere, thus realizing the phase transition of Fe into Fe 5 C 2 . The optimized Fe 5 C 2 catalyst is employed in the photothermocatalytic FTS process, achieving a light olefins selectivity of 54.2% in hydrocarbons, with a CO conversion of 24.3%.

Smg treatment alleviates diabetic kidney injury by inhibiting ferroptosis in patients, animal models, and HK-2 cells. Notably, Smg treatment significantly increases the mRNA expression of KLB through the activation of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway, specifically through the phosphorylation of protein kinase A (PKA) and cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB). Subsequently, the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway is activated, reprograming the key metabolic processes of ferroptosis such as iron metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, and the antioxidant response against lipid peroxidation. Suppression of ferroptosis by Smg further attenuates renal inflammation and fibrosis.

In vitro, TQ-H 2 specifically targets the lysosome and reacts with hydroxyl radical (·OH) to generate TQ-HA, which lights up the cells. TQ-HA generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) under light irradiation, enabling the simultaneous induction and monitoring of apoptosis and ferroptosis in tumor cells. Remarkably, TQ-HA also acts as a self-amplifier, autocatalytically activating TQ-H 2 by generating ·OH under light exposure. This self-amplification aligns with the tumor microenvironment, where TQ-H 2 undergoes chemical transformation, distinguishing tumors from healthy tissue via near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging.

In this study, AuNCs-zeolitic-imidazolate-framework (Au-ZIF) nanocomposites are systematically constructed by impregnating AuNCs onto the ZIF-8 surface through a coordination-dissociation mechanism, resulting in a dual-site fluorescence-loaded structure. In this configuration, AuNCs are anchored to the external surface while the integrity of the inner cavity remains intact. The surface of ZIF-8 induces a confinement effect on the configuration and electrons of AuNCs, significantly enhancing luminescence (18-fold increase). The quantum yield of AuNCs exhibits an increase of more than 13-fold, from 2.80% to 38.1%. This approach demonstrates broad applicability and maintains strong fluorescence across different ZIFs. Additionally, a novel nanocomposite, Au-ZIF@carbon-dots (CDs), is synthesized by encapsulating CDs into the inner cavity of Au-ZIF. A ratiometric fluorescence detection platform is subsequently developed and incorporated into hydrogels for the quantitative detection of the pesticide triazophos. By employing an image-processing algorithm, quantitative detection is achieved with a detection limit of 0.07 ng mL⁻ 1 .

  @article{ , abstract = {The cell membrane transport capacity and surface targets of multiple myeloma (MM) cells heavily influence chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Here, it is found that caveolin-1 (CAV1), a primary component of membrane lipid rafts and caveolae, is highly expressed in MM cells and is associated with MM progression and drug resistance. CAV1 knockdown decreases MM cell adhesion to stromal cells and attenuates cell adhesion-mediated drug resistance to bortezomib. CAV1 inhibition in MM cells enhances natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity through increasing CXCL10, SLAMF7, and CD112. CAV1 suppression reduces mitochondrial membrane potential, increases reactive oxygen species, and inhibits autophagosome-lysosome fusion, resulting in the disruption of redox homeostasis. Additionally, CAV1 knockdown enhances glutamine addiction by increasing ASCT2 and LAT1 and dysregulates glutathione metabolism. As a result of CAV1 inhibition, MM cells are more sensitive to starvation, glutamine depletion, and glutamine transporter inhibition, and grow more slowly in vivo in a mouse model treated with bortezomib. The observation that CAV1 inhibition modulated by 6-mercaptopurine, daidzin, and statins enhances the efficacy of bortezomib in vitro and in vivo highlights the translational significance of these FDA-approved drugs in improving MM outcomes.

However, the role of the innate immune response in CRAB infection is poorly understood. Here, it is reported that CRAB infection induced a cytosolic DNA-sensing signaling pathway and significant IFN-β production in mice post-CRAB infection. The knockout of STING reduced bacterial burden, the production of inflammatory cytokines, and lung injury in mice post CRAB infection. The cytosolic DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and the adaptor protein stimulator of interferon genes (STING) are required for CRAB-induced IFN-β expression in macrophages. Intriguingly, CRAB utilized outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) to transport outer membrane protein 38 (OMP38) into mitochondria, triggering mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release into the cytosol through the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) and activating the cGAS-STING signaling. Finally, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is demonstrated to block the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway and ameliorate CRAB-induced excessive inflammatory response.

By regulating the electrolyte's oxo-basicity with earth-abundant borax (Na 2 B 4 O 7 ), a borate-enhanced electrolyte is established that accelerates the overall electrochemical reaction efficiently. This system involved a series of well-designed target borate species (BO 3 3− , BO 2 − , and B 4 O 7 2− ) that acted as mediators shuttling between the cathode and anode, favoring CO as the primary cathodic product. Manipulating the atmosphere above the anode facilitated a spontaneous transformation of borates, further enhancing OER performance with long-term operational stability over a cumulative period of 50 h, while also reducing overall energy consumption. This work presents a cost-effective strategy for the industrial-scale production of CO derived from CO 2 , contributing to a lower carbon footprint by establishing a sustainable borate-mediated closed loop.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xinyu Li and Bowen Deng and Kaifa Du and Wenmiao Li and Di Chen and Xin Qu and Fangzhao Pang and Xiaodan Zhang and Hao Zha and Huayi Yin and Dihua Wang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202406457}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {4}, pages = {2406457}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Lead-free metal-halide scintillators are gaining considerable attention as more eco-friendly and superior alternatives to their lead-based counterparts. However, novel broad-emission band scintillators like the state-of-the-art CsI: Tl scintillator, which can generate high signals due to its strong compatibility with the spectral responsivity of regular photodiode arrays, are still less investigated. Herein, a TPA 2 Cu 2 I 4 (TPACI) copper halide scintillator with a unique ultra-broad emission (FWHM > 240 nm) is developed, which shows universal compatibility with the peak response range of commercial photodetector. The optical properties characterization and mechanism analysis indicates that this ultra-broad spectrum can be attributed to the dual self-trapped exciton (STE) emission consisting of two emission bands. Benefiting from the large Stokes shift and ultra-broad emission band enabled by the dual STE, the self-absorption-free TPACI scintillator exhibits efficient white light emission with a high photoluminescence quantum yields of 94.27%, a high light yield of ≈40124 photons MeV −1 . Moreover, a prototype of a TPACI scintillator-based X-ray imager is assembled for inspecting the internal structures of biological and electronic devices, which demonstrated a high resolution of 5.5 lp mm −1 at modulation transfer function = 0.2. These findings provide insights into the design of efficient, broad-emission scintillators for high-resolution X-ray imaging.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Haocheng Lv and Wenyi Shao and Haifeng Chen and Guoyang Zhu and Yao Wang and Zhenzhong Zhang and Hongwei Liang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202405995}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {4}, pages = {2405995}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Splicing dysregulation arising from spliceosomal mutations contributes to disease progression and treatment resistance, mostly in hematologic malignancy. Whereas spliceosomal mutations are less common in solid tumors, splicing disorders are pervasive and proven to promote tumorigenesis. However, there is a lack of systematic understanding of the overall splicing dysregulation patterns and how widespread different patterns occur within or across solid tumor lineage. To address these questions, a computational method called SMNPLS (Sparse Multi-Network Regularized Partial Least Squares) is developed to uncover the pan-cancer splicing dysregulation landscape by extracting joint modular patterns from paired matrices of splicing factors (SFs) expressions and alternative splicing events (ASEs). Six unique patterns illustrated by ASE-SF co-modules are summarized, which involve 1,570 ASEs and altered expression of 170 SFs, covering 40% of TCGA solid tumors. Cross-cancer commonalities of splicing dysregulation are observed among digestive system neoplasms, renal-associated tumors, and urogenital tumors. By contrast, brain tumors demonstrate a distinct splicing pattern with the highest ASE-SF correlation. In addition, some new splicing regulatory relationships are identified that are potentially oncogenic. Overall, the study characterizes the full spectrum of splicing dysregulation patterns, indicating the similarity and specificity of splicing-derived pathogenesis across 31 human solid tumors.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jingru Sui and Dan Guo and Xiao Wen and Lei Zhou and Yue Huang and Haoyu Yu and Jinyu Chen and Zhaoqi Liu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202405626}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {4}, pages = {2405626}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {RPOTp is the nuclear-encoded plastid-targeted RNA polymerase and plays a crucial role in chloroplast gene expression. Transcripts in plant organelles are altered by the conversion of cytidine (C) to uridine (U) at specific positions through RNA editing. However, whether RPOTp is involved in chloroplast RNA editing remains unclear. Here, the role of RPOTp in C-to-U RNA editing at multiple sites in Arabidopsis chloroplasts is uncovered. Multiple organellar RNA editing factor 2 (MORF2) is required for the editing of most sites in chloroplasts. RPOTp is identified from the co-immunoprecipitation targets of MORF2. The sca3-2 mutant, defective in RPOTp, exhibits a pale-yellow phenotype and alters the RNA editing of nine sites in chloroplasts. It is also shown that RNA editing is uncoupled from chloroplast transcriptional activity. RPOTp directly interacts with chloroplast multiple-site RNA editing factors, including MORF2, MORF8, MORF9, and ORRM1. It is further shown that RPOTp participates in RNA editing by influencing the dimerization of MORF proteins. The defect in RPOTp impairs the expression of most chloroplast genes, indicating an indispensable role for RPOTp in chloroplast gene expression.

  @article{ , abstract = {Accurate prediction of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) at the patient level is essential for ensuring patient safety and optimizing healthcare outcomes. Traditional machine learning-based methods primarily focus on predicting potential ADRs for drugs, but they often fall short of capturing the complexity of individual demographics and the variations in ADRs experienced by different people. In this study, a novel framework called Precise Adverse Drug Reaction (PreciseADR) for patient-level ADR prediction is proposed. The approach effectively integrates relations between patients and ADRs, and harnesses the power of heterogeneous Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to address the limitations of traditional methods. Specifically, a heterogeneous graph representation of patients is constructed, encompassing nodes that represent patients, diseases, drugs, and ADRs. By leveraging edges in the graph, crucial connections are captured such as a patient being affected by diseases, taking specific drugs, and experiencing ADRs. Next, a GNN-based model is utilized to learn latent representations of the patient nodes and facilitate the propagation of information throughout the graph structure. By employing patient embeddings that consider their diseases and drugs, potential ADRs can be accurately predicted. The PreciseADR is dedicated to effectively capturing both local and global dependencies within the heterogeneous graph, allowing for the identification of subtle patterns and interactions that play a significant role in ADRs. To evaluate the performance of the approach, extensive experiments are conducted on a large-scale real-world healthcare dataset with adverse reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). Experimental results demonstrate that the PreciseADR achieves superior predictive performance in identifying patient-level ADRs, surpassing the strongest baseline by 3.2% in AUC score and by 4.9% in Hit@10.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Yang Gao and Xiang Zhang and Zhongquan Sun and Payal Chandak and Jiajun Bu and Haishuai Wang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202404671}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {4}, pages = {2404671}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {N 6 -acetyl- L - lysine residue is abundant in dietary protein but little is known about its potential influences on the diet-consumers. Herein, it is reported that Lysyl-tRNA synthetase (KARS) mediates co-translational deposition of diet-derived N 6 -acetyl- L -lysine (AcK) in nascent proteins to contribute to the acetylome in cells. Acetylated dietary protein is a direct source of AcK that can widely and substantially regulate the acetylome in multiple organs of mice. By analyzing the mechanisms underlying AcK contributing to the acetylome in mammalian cells, it is found that KARS can utilize AcK as an alternative substrate to produce N 6 -acetyl- l -lysyl-tRNA. The crystal structure of KARS in complex with AcK at 2.26 Å resolution shows that AcK shares the same substrate-binding pocket as L -lysine, allowed by a sidechain flip of Tyr499. The generated N 6 -acetyl- L -lysyl-tRNA introduces AcK into growing nascent polypeptide and results in protein acetylation, including the regions buried inside folded proteins that are post-translational modification (PTM)-inaccessible and functionally important.

  @article{ , abstract = {Acetylation is critically required for p53 activation, though it remains poorly understood how p53 acetylation is regulated in glioblastoma (GBM). This study reveals that p53 acetylation is a favorable prognostic marker for GBM, regardless of p53 status, and that Smad1, a key negative regulator of p53 acetylation, is involved in this process. Smad1 forms a complex with p53 and p300, inhibiting p300's interaction with p53 and leading to reduced p53 acetylation and increased Smad1 acetylation in GBM. This results in enhanced tumor growth and resistance to chemotherapy, particularly in tumors with missense mutant p53. Acetylation of K373 is found to be essential for Smad1's oncogenic function but does not confer chemoresistance in the absence of p53. Through molecular docking, it is discovered that Smad1 and p53 both interact with the acetyltransferase domain of p300, but at different amino acid sites. Disturbing the interface of Smad1 through amino acid mutations abolishes the Smad1-p300 complex and promotes p53 acetylation.

Exosomes injection and blockade experiments indicate that exosomes play a crucial role in chronic stress-mediated lung metastasis of breast cancer. Chronic stress-induced TDEs are internalized by pulmonary neutrophils and strengthen neutrophil recruitment via the CXCL2 autocrine.

In this work, the active species of a cobalt-functionalized COF (TpBpy-Co) is studied as electrochemical OER catalyst through a series of electrochemical measurements and post-electrolysis characterizations. These results suggest that cobalt oxide-based nanoparticles are formed in TpBpy-Co from Co(II) ions coordinated to the COF backbone when exposing TpBpy-Co to alkaline media, and these newly formed nanoparticles serve as the primary active species for oxygen evolution. The study thus emphasizes that caution is warranted when assessing the catalytic activity of COF electrocatalysts, as the pristine COF may act as the pre-catalyst, with the active species forming only under catalyst operating conditions. Specifically, strong coordination between COFs and metal centers under electrochemical operation conditions is crucial to avoid unintended transformation of COF electrocatalysts.

Although the traditional approach of loading a single cocatalyst on selective facets provides reaction sites and reduces the reaction overpotential, pronounced surface charge carrier recombination still results in limited efficiency increases. The present study demonstrates a significant improvement in the hydrogen evolution activity of the layered single-crystal photocatalyst Y 2 Ti 2 O 5 S 2 . Increased performance is obtained through sequential loading of Pt cocatalysts using a two-step process followed by photodeposition of Cr 2 O 3 nanolayers. The stepwise deposition of Pt involved an impregnation-reduction pretreatment with subsequent photodeposition and produced numerous hydrogen production sites while promoting electron capture. The Cr 2 O 3 shells formed on Pt nanoparticles further promoted electron transfer from the Pt to the water and inhibited surface carrier recombination. Importantly, it is also possible to construct a Z-scheme overall water splitting system using the optimized Y 2 Ti 2 O 5 S 2 in combination with surface-modified BiVO 4 in the presence of [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3−/4− , yielding a solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion efficiency of 0.19%.

  @article{ , abstract = {With the emergence of electromechanical devices, considerable efforts have been devoted to improving the piezoelectricity of 2D materials. Herein, an anion-doping approach is proposed as an effective way to enhance the piezoelectricity of α-In 2 Se 3 nanosheets, which has a rare asymmetric structure in both the in-plane and out-of-plane directions. As the O 2 plasma treatment gradually substitutes selenium with oxygen, it changes the crystal structure, creating a larger lattice distortion and, thus, an extended dipole moment. Prior to the O 2 treatment, the lattice extension is deliberately maximized in the lateral direction by imposing in situ tensile strain during the exfoliation process for preparing the nanosheets. Combining doping and strain engineering substantially enhances the piezoelectric coefficient and electromechanical energy conversion. As a result, the optimal harvester with a 0.9% in situ strain and 10 min plasma exposure achieves the highest piezoelectric energy harvesting values of ≈13.5 nA and ≈420 µW cm −2 under bending operation, outperforming all previously reported 2D materials. Theoretical estimation of the structural changes and polarization with gradual oxygen substitution supports the observed dependence of the electromechanical performance.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Ji Yeon Kim and Woohyun Hwang and Seo Yeon Han and Ye Seul Jung and Fengyi Pang and Wenhu Shen and Cheolmin Park and Sang-Woo Kim and Aloysius Soon and Yong Soo Cho}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202410851}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {3}, pages = {2410851}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Immunotherapy holds potential as a treatment for gastric cancer (GC), though immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) resistance remains an obstacle. One resistance mechanism involves defects in interferon-γ (IFN-γ) signaling, in which IFN-γ is linked to improved responsiveness to ICIs. Herein, the roles of RNA N 6 -methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in regulation of IFN-γ signaling and the responsiveness to ICIs are unveiled. The m6A-binding protein YTH N 6 -methyladenosine RNA-binding protein F1 (YTHDF1) is overexpressed in GC tissues, correlating with the suppression of cancer immunity and poorer survival rates. YTHDF1 overexpression impaired the responsiveness to IFN-γ in GC cells, and knockdown studies indicated the redundant effects of YTHDF2 and YTHDF3 with YTHDF1 in IFN-γ responsiveness. RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing revealed YTHDFs directly target interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) mRNA, a master regulator of IFN-γ signaling, leading to reduced RNA stability and consequent downregulation of IFN-γ signaling. Furthermore, in mouse syngeneic tumor models, Ythdf1 depletion in cancer cells resulted in reduced tumor growth and increased tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, which are attributed to the augmentation of IFN-γ signaling.

However, current methods for region identification often lack the simultaneous characterizing of spatial structure and gene regulation, thereby limiting the ability of spatial dissection and gene interpretation.

  @article{ , abstract = {Eradication of osteomyelitis caused by bacterial infections is still a major challenge. Microwave therapy has the inherent advantage of deep penetration in curing deep tissue infections. However, the antibacterial efficiency of sensitizers is limited by the weak energy of microwaves. Here, a hybrid heterojunction system (Fe 3 O 4 /CuS/Emo) is designed for curing bacterially infected osteomyelitis. As an enhanced microwave sensitizer, it shows supernormal microwave response ability. Specifically, Fe 3 O 4 acts as a matrix to mediate magnetic loss. After CuS loading, the heterogeneous interface forms induce significant interfacial polarization, which increasing dielectric loss. On the basis of the heterojunction formed by the two semiconductors, emodin is innovatively introduced to modify it. This integration not only accelerates the movement of charge carriers but also enhances polarization loss due to the numerous functional groups present on the surface. This further optimizes the microwave thermal and catalytic response. In addition, the unique anti-inflammatory properties of emodin confer the ability of hybrid heterojunction to regulate the immune microenvironment. In vivo studies reveal that heterojunction modified by emodin programmed elimination of bacteria and regulation of the immune microenvironment.

In the present study, it is found that MYDGF expression is significantly reduced in the cortex of the kidney, especially in the proximal tubules, from mice with CKD. Notably, lower expression of MYDGF is observed in tubules from patients with CKD and the level of MYDGF correlated with key factors related to kidney fibrosis and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with CKD.

This is achieved by introducing two orthogonal p -orbitals as eigenbases, whose spatial modal features are exploited to generate OAM, and the associated orbital orientations provide means to simultaneously manipulate polarizations. Through periodic modulation and directional coupling, a full cyclic evolution of synchronized and synergized SAM-OAM is realized.

  @article{ , abstract = {Hypertension remains a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36) is an RNA-binding protein that regulates mRNA stability by binding to adenylate-uridylate-rich elements in the mRNA 3′-untranslated region. This study reveals that ZFP36 expression is highly elevated in the arteries of hypertensive patients and rodents. In cultured vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC), angiotensin II (AngII) activates poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases1 (PARP1) to stimulate Zfp36 expression at the transcriptional level. VSMC-specific ZFP36 deletion reduces vessel contractility and blood pressure levels in mice. Mechanistically, ZFP36 regulates G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)-mediated increases in intracellular calcium levels through impairing the mRNA stability of regulator of G protein signaling 2 (RGS2). Moreover, the VSMC-specific ZFP36 deficiency attenuates AngII-induced hypertension and vascular remodeling in mice. AAV-mediated ZFP36 knockdown ameliorates spontaneous hypertension in rats. These findings elucidate that ZFP36 plays an important role in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction and blood pressure through modulating RGS2 expression.

Currently, live attenuated vaccines (LAVs) remain the most efficacious and widely utilized tool for combating viral infections. Conventional LAVs involve the adaptation of virulent viruses to novel hosts, cell cultures, or suboptimal environments, resulting in a reduction in pathogenicity while retaining immunogenicity. This process entails directed evolution of the virus to enhance its replication efficiency under these modified conditions. In this review, the development of traditional animal-adapted and cold-adapted LAVs is specially discussed. Additionally, the factors that contribute to virus attenuation from a viral lifecycle perspective are summarized.

The findings revealed that nucleic acids and proteins tended to be distributed in the dextran-rich phase. The results demonstrated that the cis-cleavage activity of Cas12a is enhanced in the ATPS, while its trans-cleavage activity is suppressed, and this finding is further validated using Cas13a. Further analysis by increasing the concentration of the DNA reporter revealed that this phenomenon is not attributed to the slow diffusion of the reporter, and explained why Cas12a and Cas13a do not randomly cleave nucleic acids in the intracellular compartment.

Herein, a simple and effective X-ray irradiation strategy is demonstrated for enhancing the photoluminescence of Ga-doped ZnO microwire in ambient conditions. Under moderate doses (≤ 150 Gy), the photoluminescence monotonically rockets up with X-ray dose increment and achieves nine-fold enhancement at a dose of ≈150 Gy, recording high photoluminescence improvement of ZnO microwires to date. The elemental characteristics under different controlled irradiation atmospheres suggest the elimination of surface oxygen vacancy and the cross-section transmission electron microscope reveals prominent lattice relaxations after mild X-ray irradiation. In addition, the X-ray irradiated microwires further exhibit elevated electroluminescence by over three times.

Here, we report an essential role of the m 6 A methyltransferase METTL16 in meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI), double-strand break (DSB) formation, homologous recombination and SYCP1 deposition during male meiosis. METTL16 depletion results in a significantly upregulated transcriptome on sex chromosomes in pachytene spermatocytes and leads to reduced DSB formation and recombination, and increased SYCP1 depositioin during the first wave of spermatogenesis. Mechanistically, in pachytene spermatocytes, METTL16 interacts with MDC1/SCML2 to coordinate DNA damage response (DDR) and XY body epigenetic modifications that establish and maintain MSCI, and in early meiotic prophase I, METTL16 regulates DSB formation and recombination by regulating protein levels of meiosis-related genes. Furthermore, multi-omics analyses reveal that METTL16 interacts with translational factors and controls m 6 A levels in the RNAs of meiosis-related genes (e.g., Ubr2 ) to regulate the expression of critical meiotic regulators.

Through high-throughput screening of 24 inhibitors on 12 CRC and three colorectal organoids in this organoid living biobank, adavivint is found to exhibit anti-tumor activity and low toxicity in colorectal organoids, independent of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Mechanistically, ADAM10 is screened as a target of adavivint to specifically regulate the protein expression of NOTCH2, which mediates the transcriptional regulation of the Wnt pathway.

Here, a chemically defined culture system is established that supports tooth reconstitution, further development with normal anatomy, and prompt response to chemical interference in key developmental signaling pathways, termed as toothoids. By using such a system, it is discovered that, during reconstitution, instead of resetting the developmental clock, dental cells reorganized and restarted from the respective developmental stage where they are originally isolated. Moreover, co-stimulation of Activin A and Hedgehog/Smoothened agonist (SAG) sustained the initial induction of tooth fate from the first branchial arch, which would be otherwise quickly lost in culture. Furthermore, activation of Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling triggered efficient enamel formation in the late-stage toothoids, without affecting the normal development of ameloblasts.

An imaging methodology that can non-invasively quantify the binding of TZM-HER2, which is required for therapeutic action, and distribution within tumors with varying tumor microenvironments is much needed. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence lifetime (FLI) Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) is performed to measure TZM-HER2 binding, using in vitro microscopy and in vivo widefield macroscopy, in HER2 overexpressing breast and ovarian cancer cells and tumor xenografts, respectively. Immunohistochemistry is used to validate in vivo imaging results. NIR FLI FRET in vitro microscopy data show variations in intracellular distribution of bound TZM in HER2-positive breast AU565 and AU565 tumor-passaged XTM cell lines in comparison to SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells. Macroscopy FLI (MFLI) FRET in vivo imaging data show that SKOV-3 tumors display reduced TZM binding compared to AU565 and XTM tumors, as validated by ex vivo immunohistochemistry. Moreover, AU565/XTM and SKOV-3 tumor xenografts display different amounts and distributions of TME components, such as collagen and vascularity.

This method enabled a notable production rate of 1.24 mmol h −1 g cat −1 for DMF employing a hybrid Ag/Cu catalyst. Additionally, an impressive Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 28.6% is attained for DMF through oxidative coupling of dimethylamine using Ag/Cu catalyst.

  @article{ , abstract = {Phosphate and phosphonate drugs are vital in building organisms, regulating physiological processes, and exhibiting diverse biological activities, including antiviral, antibacterial, antineoplastic, and enzyme-inhibitory effects. However, their therapeutic potential is limited by the lack of advanced nanoengineering technologies. Herein, a competitive coordination strategy for nanoengineering phosphate/phosphonate drugs is introduced. By leveraging the difference in coordination capabilities between polyphenols and phosphates/phosphonates with metal ions, various phosphate/phosphonate-based nanodrugs using metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) as templates and phosphate/phosphonate drugs as competitive agents are constructed. The dynamic nature of these coordination bonds imparts stimuli-responsiveness to the nanodrugs, allowing for targeted release and therapy. As a proof of concept, Fe 3+ and galangin are used to form the MPN template, zoledronic acid and cGAMP as competitive agents, and DOX as the loaded drug to construct DOX@Fe-galangin@Fe-zoledronic acid-cGAMP nanodrugs. The results demonstrate that, by triggering pyroptosis and activating the cGAS-STING pathway, the nanodrugs exhibit potent cytotoxicity and accurate selectivity in eradicating orthotopic breast tumors, and activate an antitumor immune response against lung and bone metastases. Because the competitive coordination strategy is applicable to a variety of phosphate/phosphonate agents, it holds significant potential for enhancing the clinical efficacy of phosphate/phosphonate drugs and advancing nanodrug development for complex therapeutic applications.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Wanrui Shi and Dashuai Liu and Wenjie Feng and Yang Chen and Yonggang Wang and Zhihong Nie and Yi Liu and Hao Zhang}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202413201}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {2}, pages = {2413201}, shortjournal = {Adv.

However, the antibacterial efficiency of biomedical implants derived solely from nanostructures or microstructures is insufficient to combat bacteria against common infections, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with thick cell walls. Herein, photothermal therapy is carried out in the presence of nanorod arrays to mitigate infection of biomedical implants. Different from traditional photothermal therapy relying on a photosensitizer, the photothermal effect is mediated by light traps rendered by the nanorod arrays, and consequently, the photosensitizer is not needed. Finite element simulations and experiments are performed to elucidate the light-to-thermal conversion mechanism. This photothermal platform, in conjunction with thermosensitive nitric oxide therapy, is applied to treat titanium implant infection. The nanostructure-mediated photothermal effect destroys bacterial cell walls by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis and increasing the membrane permeability by affecting fatty acid synthesis.

  @article{ , abstract = {The low lithium-ion conductivity of polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based polymer electrolytes limits their application in solid-state lithium batteries and related fields. Here, ionic liquids (ILs) are injected into hollow silicon nanorods (HSNRs) to prepare a composite solid polymer electrolyte (CSPE) with aligned HSNRs containing ILs (F-ILs@HSNRs). Applying a magnetic field promoted uniform dispersion and orientation of F-ILs@HSNRs in CSPE. The addition of F-ILs@HSNRs reduced PEO crystallinity and formed Li + transport pathways at the F-ILs@HSNRs/PEO interface. Calculations and multi-physics simulations reveal that ILs within F-ILs@HSNRs contribute most to lithium-ion conduction, followed by the F-ILs@HSNRs/PEO interface. When F-ILs@HSNRs are arranged perpendicular to the electrodes, the CSPE exhibits the shortest Li + migration pathways, resulting in stable and efficient lithium-ion conduction. The conductivity (2.14 × 10 −4 S cm −1 ) and lithium-ion migration number t Li+ (0.307) are the highest, being 125 times and 184% higher, respectively, than those of PEO-LiTFSI, when compared to CSPEs with randomly arranged or parallel-aligned F-ILs@HSNRs.

To understand the potential crosstalk, RNA-seq and metabolomic analysis were performed on adipose tissue and muscle in aging mice and revealed that creatine levels are increased both in iWAT and muscle of UCP1 KO mice. Interestingly, molecular analysis and metabolite tracing revealed that creatine biosynthesis is increased in iWAT while creatine uptake is increased in muscle in UCP1 KO mice, suggesting creatine transportation from iWAT to muscle. Importantly, creatine analog β-GPA abolished the differences in muscle functions between aging WT and UCP1 KO mice, while UCP1 inhibitor α-CD improved muscle glycolytic function and glucose metabolism in aging mice.

Herein, closely-contacted Cu 2 O-CoWO 4 nanosheet heterojunctions (CCW-NH) are successfully synthesized using an in-situ process for cuproptosis therapy. The efficient release of copper ions from CCW-NH can be triggered by ultrasound irradiation, primarily due to the generation of superoxide radicals as the sonodynamic agents via the Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism. When subjected to the combined effects of ultrasound and laser irradiation, the effective release of copper ions is increased by 1.7 times compared to the untreated group, significantly enhancing the efficiency of cuproptosis. And the incorporation of CCW-NH and L-arginine into the temperature-sensitive injectable hydrogel (HP-CCW@LA) ultimately achieved a tumor inhibition rate of up to 95.1%. L-arginine, serving as a reducing agent, enabled the sustained release of highly active Cu + during treatment.

However, the molecular mechanism for this distinct vulnerability remains unclear. Here, it is shown that Legumain, also known as asparagine endopeptidase (AEP), is activated in a subgroup of SRY-box transcription factor 6 /Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1, (Sox6 + /ALDH1A1 + ) neurons in the ventral tier of the SNpc and cleaves Sox6 and ALDH1A1, leading to repression of Special AT-rich sequence binding protein 1 (Satb1) that is a dimeric/tetrameric transcription factor specifically binding to AT-rich DNA sequences, and toxic dopamine metabolite accumulation. AEP cuts Sox6 and ALDH1A1 in dopaminergic neurons that project to the locus coeruleus (LC), abolishing Sox6's transcriptive and ALDH1A1's enzymatic activities. Co-expressing AEP-truncated Sox6 and ALDH1A1 fragments in 3-month-old A53T SNCA transgenic mice accelerates dopamine degeneration, whereas expressing AEP-resistant Sox6 N336A/N446A and ALDH1A1 N220A mutants alleviates rotenone-induced PD pathologies.

This technique involves measuring radiance across two or more spectral bands and calculating the object's temperature based on the signal ratio, thereby mitigating emissivity effects under certain conditions. However, this method has the trade-off of necessitating bulky optical systems, complex filter imaging configurations, and sensor structures.

  @article{ , abstract = {Acquired resistance to hormonal therapy, particularly enzalutamide (ENZ), remains a significant obstacle in the treatment of advanced bone metastatic prostate cancer. Here, it is demonstrated that under ENZ treatment, osteoblasts in the bone microenvironment secrete increased levels of extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1), which affects surrounding prostate cancer cells, promoting tumor cell proliferation and anti-androgen resistance. Mechanistically, ECM1 interacts with the enolase 1 (ENO1) receptor on the prostate cancer cell membrane, leading to its phosphorylation at the Y189 site. This event further recruits adapter proteins including growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) and son of sevenless homolog 1 (SOS1), which activates the downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway to induce anti-androgen resistance. Furthermore, inhibiting ECM1 or utilizing the ENO1-targeting inhibitor phosphonoacetohydroxamate (PhAH) significantly restores tumor cell sensitivity to ENZ. Taken together, a potential mechanism is identified through which osteoblast-derived ECM1 drives resistance in bone metastatic prostate cancer under ENZ treatment. Additionally, the findings indicate that ECM1 and ENO1 may serve as potential targets for developing therapies for bone metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Xinwen Wang and Min Wang and Qijun Lin and Lixin He and Baolin Zhang and Xin Chen and Guanhong Chen and Hong Du and Chuandong Lang and Xinsheng Peng and Yuhu Dai}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202407662}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {2}, pages = {2407662}, shortjournal = {Adv.

  @article{ , abstract = {Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a complex psychiatric disorder presenting challenges for characterization. The current study aimed to identify and evaluate disease-responsive essential genes (DREGs) to enhance the molecular characterization of SCZ. RNA-sequencing data from PsychENCODE (536 SCZ patients, 832 controls) and peripheral blood transcriptome data from 144 recruited subjects (59 SCZ patients, 6 non-SCZ psychiatric patients, 79 controls) are analyzed. Shared differential expression genes are obtained using three algorithms. Support vector machine (SVM)-based recursive feature elimination is employed to identify DREGs. The biological relevance of these DREGs is examined through protein–protein interaction network, pathway enrichment, polygenic scoring, and brain tissue expression. Key DREGs are validated in SCZ animal models. A DREGs-based machine-learning model for SCZ characterization is developed and its performance is assessed using multiple datasets. The analysis identified 184 DREGs forming an interconnected network involved in synaptic plasticity, inflammation, neuronal development, and neurotransmission. DREGs exhibited distinct expression in SCZ-related brain regions and animal models. Their genetic contributions are comparable to genome-wide polygenic risk scores. The DREG-based SVM model demonstrated high performance (AUC 85% for SCZ characterization, 79% for specificity).

Here, it is demonstrated that the unconventional anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in Cr 2 Te 3 , characterized by additional humps and dips near the coercive field in AHE hysteresis, originates from an intrinsic mechanism dictated by the self-intercalation. This mechanism is distinctly different from previously proposed mechanisms such as topological Hall effect, or two-channel AHE arising from spatial inhomogeneities. Crucially, multiple Weyl-like nodes emerge in the electronic band structure due to strong spin-orbit coupling, whose positions relative to the Fermi level is sensitively modulated by the canting angles of the self-intercalated Cr cations. These nodes contribute strongly to the Berry curvature and AHE conductivity. This component competes with the contribution from bands that are less affected by the self-intercalation, resulting in a sign change in AHE with temperature and the emergence of additional humps and dips.

In this study on oxide superlattices composed of ferromagnetic metallic SrRuO 3 and quantum paraelectric SrTiO 3 , phonon modulation by controlling the geometry of superlattice in atomic-scale precision is realized, demonstrating the coherent phonon engineering using structural and magnetic phase transitions. By modulating the interface density, coherent-incoherent crossover of the phonon transport at room temperature is observed, which is coupled with a change in interfacial structural continuity. Upon cooling, the close relation between phonon transport and multiple phase transitions is identified. In particular, the enhancement of the polar state in SrTiO 3 layer at ≈200 K leads to the weakening of phonon coherence and a further reduction of thermal conductivity in superlattices compared to the bulk limit.

It is further demonstrated that the endocytosis inhibitor prochlorperazine (PCZ) can move EGFR, which is hidden inside the cell, to the cell surface to improve therapeutic antibody binding. Thus, a thermosensitive hydrogel co-loaded with cetuximab and PCZ (Gel@Cmab/PCZ) is constructed for sustained inhibition of endocytosis and effective cetuximab delivery. Peritumoral injection of Gel@Cmab/PCZ shows strong antitumor efficacy in subcutaneous and orthotopic CRC tumor models and completely abrogated liver metastasis when combined with chemotherapy.

To reveal the molecular mechanism of Ginkgetin's anti-aging effect, a graph convolutional network-based drug “on-target” pathway prediction algorithm for prediction is employed. The results indicate that the cGAS-STING pathway may be a potential target for Ginkgetin. Subsequent cell biological and biophysical data confirmed that Ginkgetin directly binds to the carboxy-terminal domain of STING protein, thereby inhibiting STING activation and signal transduction. Furthermore, in vivo pharmacodynamic data showed that Ginkgetin effectively alleviates systemic inflammation in Trex1 −/− mice and inhibits the abnormally activated STING signaling in aging mouse model.

Rather than cholesterol ester (CE), we observed elevated levels of total cholesterol, FC, and alanine transaminase (ALT) in NAFLD patients and high-cholesterol diet-induced NAFLD mice compared to those in healthy controls. The FC level demonstrated a positive correlation with the ALT level in both patients and mice. Mechanistic studies revealed that FC elevated reactive oxygen species level, impaired the function of lysosomes, and disrupted lipophagy process, consequently inducing cell apoptosis. We then found that DhT protected mice on an HCD diet, independent of gut microbiota.

  @article{ , abstract = {Prolonged alcohol consumption disrupts the gut microbiota and the immune system, contributing to the pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). Probiotic-postbiotic intervention strategies can effectively relieve ALD by maintaining gut homeostasis. Herein, the efficacy of heat-killed Lactobacillus johnsonii (HKLJ) in mitigating alcoholic liver damage is demonstrated in mouse models of ALD. The gut-liver axis is identified as a pivotal pathway for the protective effects of L. johnsonii against ALD. Specifically, HKLJ is found to upregulate the expression of intestinal lysozymes, thereby enhancing the production of immunoregulatory substances from gut bacteria, which subsequently activated the Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2)-interleukin (IL-23)-IL-22 innate immune axis. The elevated IL-22 upregulated the antimicrobial peptide synthesis to maintain intestinal homeostasis and moreover activated the Signal transducer and activator of Transcription3 (STAT3) pathway in the liver to facilitate the repair of hepatic injuries. The heat-killed L. johnsonii provoked immunity helps correct the gut microbiota dysbiosis, specifically by reversing the reduction of butyrate-producing bacteria (such as Faecalibaculum rodentium ) and the expansion of opportunistic pathogens (such as Helicobacter sp. and Pichia kudriavzevii ) induced by ethanol. The findings provide novel insights into the gut microbiota-liver axis that may be leveraged to enhance the treatment of ALD.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Ruopeng Yin and Tao Wang and Jingzu Sun and Huanqin Dai and Yuting Zhang and Ningning Liu and Hongwei Liu}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202405781}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {2}, pages = {2405781}, shortjournal = {Adv.

A clinical cohort of patients with HCC is studied retrospectively. Subsequently, the role of miR-500a-3p transported by HCC exosomes in hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation, hepatoma growth and invasion, and immune cell differentiation is determined by in vitro and in vivo experiments.

In this study, clinicopathological analyses are conducted across multiple independent HCC cohorts and induced tumor formation in Nsun5-knockout mice. The findings reveal an upregulation of NSUN5 expression in tumor tissues; conversely, the absence of Nsun5 hinders the malignant progression of HCC, indicating that NSUN5 may serve as a significant oncogene in HCC. Furthermore, elevated levels of NSUN5 enhance EMT processes within HCC cells. NSUN5-knockout cells exhibit reduced invasion and migration capabilities under both in vivo and in vitro conditions, while overexpression of NSUN5 yields opposing effects.

  @article{ , abstract = {In situ tissue engineering heart valves (TEHVs) are the most promising way to overcome the defects of existing valve prostheses.

An immunomodulatory idea based on hydrogel encapsulation of nanoparticle-coated heart valve scaffolds is introduced. Specifically, galactose-modified human serum albumin nanoparticles (miR-93@HSA NPs) to deliver microRNA-93 mimics are utilized, which target macrophages and induce their differentiation into the anti-inflammatory M2 subtype, fostering a conducive immune microenvironment. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-responsive hydrogel is used to encapsulate the nanoparticles, enabling targeted and sustained release. Results show that the miR-93@HSA NPs exhibit excellent ability to induce macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype. A decellularized valve modified with hydrogel reveals MMP-response release of the miR-93@HSA NPs. In vitro, the immunomodulatory heart valve possesses good endocytocompatibility and effectively reprograms macrophages when cocultured with HUVECs or RAW264.7 macrophages.

In addition to transcriptional processes, RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are emerging as crucial post-transcriptional players in regulating CM DACCA. However, whether post-transcriptional regulation of CM DACCA by RBPs could effectively trigger daughter CM formation remains unknown. By performing integrated bioinformatic analysis of snRNA-seq data from neonatal and adult hearts, this study identified Hnrnpa1 as a potential RBP regulating CM DACCA. Hnrnpa1 expression decreased significantly during postnatal heart development. With the use of α-MHC-H2B-mCh/CAG-eGFP-anillin transgenic mice, Hnrnpa1 overexpression promoted CM DACCA, thereby triggering daughter CM formation and enhancing cardiac repair after myocardial infarction (MI). In contrast, CRISPR/Cas9 technology is used to generate CM-specific Hnrnpa1 knockout mice. Hnrnpa1 knockout inhibited cardiac regeneration and worsened cardiac function in the neonatal MI model. Nanopore RNA sequencing, RIP assay, IP-MS, MeRIP-qPCR, PAR-CLIP and luciferase reporter experiments showed that Hnrnpa1 induced Mettl3 post-transcriptional splicing to inhibit m6A-dependent Pbx1 and E2F1 degradation, thereby increasing Runx1, Ccne1, Cdk2 and Ccnb2 expression to promote CM DACCA.

  @article{ , abstract = {The electric dipoles of proteins in a biolayer determine their dielectric properties through the polarization density P. Hence, its reproducibility is crucial for applications, particularly in bioelectronics. Biolayers encompassing capturing antibodies covalently bound at a biosensing interface are generally preferred for their assumed higher stability. However, surface physisorption is shown to offer advantages like easily scalable fabrication processes and high stability. The present study investigates the effects of electric-field (EF)-cycling of anti-Immunoglobulin M (anti-IgM) biolayers physisorbed on Au. The impact of EF-cycling on the dielectric, optical, and mechanical properties of anti-IgM biolayer is investigated. A reduction of the dispersion (standard deviation over a set of 31 samples) of the measured P values is observed, while the set median stays almost constant. Hence, physisorption combined with EF cycling, results in a biolayer with highly reproducible bioelectronic properties. Additionally, the study provides important insights into the mechanisms of dielectric rearrangement of dipole moments in capturing biolayers after EF-cycling. Notably, EF-cycling acts as an annealing process, driving the proteins in the biolayer into a statistically more probable and stable conformational state. Understanding these phenomena enhances the knowledge of the properties of physisorbed biolayers and can inform design strategies for bioelectronic devices.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Cinzia Di Franco and Eleonora Macchia and Michele Catacchio and Mariapia Caputo and Cecilia Scandurra and Lucia Sarcina and Paolo Bollella and Angelo Tricase and Massimo Innocenti and Riccardo Funari and Matteo Piscitelli and Gaetano Scamarcio and Luisa Torsi}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202412347}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {1}, pages = {2412347}, shortjournal = {Adv.

By introducing a low-absorption metal layer, surface plasmon polariton waves are excited on the silicon-metal multilayer nanofilms with long-range boosting, ensuring the uniqueness and non-replicability of the final nanotextures. Furthermore, the femtosecond laser induces a phase transition in the latent nanotexture from amorphous to polycrystalline state, rather than creating replicable relief wrinkles.

  @article{ , abstract = {The pH-dependent assembly of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which triggers a threshold-like response, is a key principle in immune signaling. While crystallography has revealed the intricate structure of these assembly complexes, the mechanisms underlying their pH dependency remain unclear. Herein, constant pH simulations and metadynamics are employed to investigate the pH-dependent assembly and stability of the TLR3/dsRNA signaling complex. The findings demonstrate that system pH regulates complex assembly and stability by modulating the protonation and charge states of histidines. Histidines in TLR3 act as pH-dependent, positively charged binding sites that capture negatively charged dsRNA. Additionally, these histidines form a [H682⁺]—[E626⁻] dipole, facilitating the assembly of two TLR3 molecules into an antisymmetric dimer through dipole–dipole interactions. Surprisingly, TLR3 can shift the p K a values of key histidines from their model p K a of 6.5, increasing protonation likelihood and enhancing ligand binding. Notably, the aromatic residue Phe84, located within the dsRNA binding site [His39⁺–His60⁺–Phe84–His108⁺], alters the p K a of His60 through cation-π interactions with its protonated state.

However, the detailed effects of four core factors of high entropy on the electrochemical properties of HEMs are still unclear. Here, a high-entropy La 1/4 Ce 1/4 Pr 1/4 Nd 1/4 Nb 3 O 9 (HE-LaNb 3 O 9 ) oxide is prepared through multiple rare-metal-ion substitution in LaNb 3 O 9 , and uses HE-LaNb 3 O 9 as a model material to systematically study the effects of the four core factors of high entropy on electrochemical energy-storage materials. The high-entropy effect lowers the calcination temperature for obtaining pure HE-LaNb 3 O 9 . The lattice distortion in HE-LaNb 3 O 9 leads to its decreased unit-cell-volume variations, which benefits its cyclability. Based on the restrained diffusion arising from the lattice distortion, the Li + diffusivity of HE-LaNb 3 O 9 at room temperature (25 °C) is limited, which causes its lowered rate capability. However, the Li + diffusivity of HE-LaNb 3 O 9 at high temperature (60 °C) becomes faster than that of LaNb 3 O 9 , which is attributed to the alleviated lattice distortion at the high-temperature, resulting in higher rate capability. The cocktail effects in HE-LaNb 3 O 9 enable its larger electronic conductivity, better electrochemical activity, more intensive Nb 5+ ↔ Nb 3+ redox reaction, and larger reversible capacity.

In this study, the up-regulation of a tRNA-derived stress-induced RNA, 5′tiRNA-His-GTG, in response to diabetic stress is revealed. 5′tiRNA-His-GTG directly regulates Müller glia action and indirectly alters endothelial angiogenic effects and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival in vitro. Downregulation of 5′tiRNA-His-GTG alleviates diabetes-induced retinal neurovascular dysfunction, characterized by reduced retinal vascular dysfunction, decreased retinal neurodegeneration, and improved visually-guided behaviors in vivo.

STAT1-mediated M1 macrophages are confirmed to secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines to accelerate inflammatory cascade and IUA formation by multi-omics analysis and experimental verification. However, clinically used hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels are prone to slip out of injury sites due to poor bio-adhesion properties.

Density functional theory calculations reveal that increasing pressure from 0 to 5 GPa moves the Σ-band of SnTe upward, reducing the energy offset between L- and Σ-band from 0.35 to 0.2 eV while preserving the light band feature of the L-band. Consequently, a high power factor ( PF ) of 119.2 µW cm −1 K −2 at 300 K is achieved for p-type SnTe under 5 GPa. Chemical pressure also induces conduction band convergence, significantly enhancing the PF of n-type SnTe.

Herein, a convenient, reliable, and intelligent strategy is proposed to screen PCa individuals through indirectly quantifying sarcosine (Sar), an early indicator of PCa, in clinical urine samples.

With the Fe-MOFs and peroxidase, the synergetic action of SOX and response gold nanorods (Au NRs) is controlled etched to exhibit a multicolored signal. The sensor exhibits excellent linearity with Sar within 1–60 × 10 −6 m , boasting a remarkable detection limit of 0.12 × 10 −6 m . The RGB value of the display color can be directly extracted using a mobile phone camera. PCa diagnosis can be swiftly made (within 15 min) and directly by identifying two RGB colors ( R < 175 or B > 135). The enzyme-assisted multicolor intelligent visualization platform is adept at detecting minute differences in Sar concentration in urine samples between PCa patients and healthy individuals.

In this study, living therapeutics are employed using photosynthetic bacteria Rhodobacter sphaeroides for in situ H 2 production combined with near-infrared (NIR) mediated photothermal therapy. Living R. sphaeroides exhibits strong absorption in the NIR spectrum, effectively converting light energy into thermal energy while concurrently generating H 2 .

However, the interface incompatibility between natural wood fibers and polymers significantly impairs the mechanical properties of the composites.

No chemical additives are required to improve the interface compatibility of composites, which simplifies the manufacturing process and provides environmental benefits. The effective removal of hemicellulose (78.35%) significantly increases the onset thermal degradation temperature of hydrothermally treated wood fibers (HWFs) by 27.49 °C.

This study describes a nanoregulator formed through the self-assembly of Mg 2+ and signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) DNAzyme (SDz), aimed at enhancing hematoma resolution and inhibiting neuroinflammation in the treatment of ICH. The structure of SDz collapses in response to the acidic endo/lysosomal microenvironment of microglia, releasing Mg 2+ and the SIRPα DNAzyme. The Mg 2+ then acts as a cofactor to activate the SIRPα DNAzyme. By blocking the CD47-SIRPα signaling pathway, microglia can rapidly and effectively phagocytose red blood cells (RBCs), thereby promoting the clearance of the hematoma. Simultaneously, Mg 2+ reset the microglia to the M2 phenotype by inhibiting the MYD88/MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby modulating the inflammatory microenvironment of ICH. This co-delivery and synergistic strategy resulted in a significant reduction in hematoma size, decreasing from 11.90 to 5.84 mm 3 , and promoted recovery from ICH with minimal systemic side effects.

This paper introduces a new skimming concept for removing floating MPs utilizing capillary force mediated by the elevation of a hydrophilic ratchet at the air−water interface. MPs floating near the ratchet surface are spontaneously forced toward the ratchet with a concave water meniscus, driven by the Cheerios effect. The MPs can then be skimmed and temporarily held by the deforming concave water meniscus as the ratchet rises. Here, it is found that the stability of the water bridge plays a crucial role in skimming success because it provides capillary adhesion between the MP and the ratchet.

The highly loaded and uniformly dispersed NiCoP NPs are anchored in-situ and fully exposed, enabling enhanced electron and ion transport efficiency and thereby boosting pseudocapacitance. The NPC from yeast played a crucial role in mitigating the volume expansion of NiCoP NPs, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the electrode. Consequently, NiCoP@NPC demonstrated a high Na + storage capacity of 59.70 ± 1.51 mg g −1 at 1.6 V and maintained good cycling stability, retaining over 73.3% of its capacity after 80 cycles at 1.6 V. Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) analysis confirmed the reversible conversion reaction mechanism and the robust structure of NiCoP@NPC before and after the reaction; Density function theory (DFT) and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM-D) further confirmed that the structural design of NiCoP@NPC promoted electron transport, Na + adsorption as well as improved cycling stability. This study is intended to provide a new idea for the in-situ confined synthesis of metal phosphides electrodes with stable performance and structure.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Jianhua Yuan and Tianxiao Sun and Jinfeng Chen and Runhong Zhou and Jianglin Cao and Fei Yu and Liqing Li and Xiumin Zhong and Jie Ma}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202407616}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {1}, pages = {2407616}, shortjournal = {Adv.

Inspired by the octopus's infundibulum structure, a compliant, curved stalk, and an active deformable membrane for multi-surface adhesion are utilized. The stalk's curved shape enhances conformal contact on large-scale curvatures and increases contact stress for adaptability to small-scale roughness. These synergistic mechanisms improve contact across multiple length scales, resulting in switching ratios of over 1000 within ≈30 ms with consistent attachment strength of over 60 kPa on diverse surfaces and conditions.

Herein, a surface planarization strategy on 3D perovskite is developed that enables an epitaxial growth of uniform 2D/3D perovskite heterojunction via a vapor-assisted process. The homogeneous charge extraction and suppression of interfacial nonradiative recombination is achieved by forming a uniform 2D/3D interface. As a result, a stabilized power output efficiency of 25.97% is achieved by using a 3D perovskite composition with a bandgap of 1.55 eV. To demonstrate the universality of the strategy applied for different perovskites, the champion device based on a 1.57 eV bandgap 3D perovskite results in an efficiency of 25.31% with a record fill factor of 87.6%. Additionally, perovskite solar modules achieve a designated area (24.04 cm 2 ) certified efficiency of 20.75% with a high fill factor of 80.0%.

A spontaneous severe murine model of autoimmune liver disease has been previously established in dnTGFβRII Aire −/− mice, exhibiting disease phenotypes that resemble both human primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). The data suggests that auto-reactive liver-specific CD8 + T cells are the primary pathogenic cells in liver injury. In this study, these data are advanced through the use of both single-cell sequencing and extensive in vitro analysis. The results identify a specific expanded pathogenic subset of PD-1 + CD8 + T cells in the liver, exhibiting strong functional activity and cytotoxicity against target cells. Depletion of PD-1 + CD8 + T cells using CAR-T cells effectively alleviates the disease. GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis is found to be aberrantly activated in the livers of model mice, and treatment with a GSDMD-specific inhibitor significantly inhibits disease progression. In vitro experiments reveal that PD-1 + CD8 + T cells can induce the pyroptosis of hepatocytes through elevated production of granzyme B and perforin-1.

However, the exact nature of the smoking-induced injury and the protective mechanism of NAC are not yet fully understood.

Airway organoids consist mainly of ciliated cells, together with basal cells, goblet cells, and myofibroblast-like cells. The organoids display apical-out and basal-in polarity and are enriched in beating cilia, which are sensitive to smoking challenge and NAC treatment. An algorithm is developed to measure ciliary beating activity by analyzing the altered beating pattern of cilia in response to nicotine challenge and NAC treatment. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) expressed by airway organoids are involved in the mechanisms of nicotine-induced injury through the nicotine-nAChR pathway. In contrast to the common understanding that NAC has an antioxidative effect that mitigates airway damage, it is elucidated that NAC binding to nicotine can abolish the binding capacity of nicotine to nAChRs and thus prevent nicotine-induced injury.

  @article{ , abstract = {Ongoing efforts spanning decades aim to enhance the efficiency of optical devices, highlighting the need for a pioneering approach in the development of next-generation components over a broad range of electromagnetic wave spectra. The nonlinear transport of photoexcited carriers in semiconductors at low photon energies is crucial to advancements in semiconductor technology, communication, sensing, and various other fields. In this study, ultra-low threshold resonance mode switching by strong nonlinear carrier transport beyond the semi-classical Boltzmann transport regime using terahertz (THz) electromagnetic waves are demonstrated, whose energy is thousands of times smaller than the bandgap. This is achieved by employing elaborately fabricated 3D tip structures at the nanoscale, and nonlinear effects are directly observed with the THz resonance mode switching. The nanotip structure intensively localizes the THz field and amplifies it by more than ten thousand times, leading to the first observation of carrier multiplication phenomena in these low-intensity THz fields. This experimental findings, confirmed by concrete calculations, shed light on the newly discovered nonlinear behavior of THz fields and their strong interactions with nanoscale structures, with potential implications and insights for advanced THz technologies beyond the quantum regime.}, archive = {J_ADVS}, author = {Sang-Hun Lee and Moohyuk Kim and Yeeun Roh and Myung-Ki Kim and Minah Seo}, doi = {10.1002/advs.202405225}, journal = {Advanced Science}, month = {1}, number = {1}, pages = {2405225}, shortjournal = {Adv.

By programming the metamaterials to support bi-stable configurations (i.e., two stable phases), the required conditions are elucidated for a transition wave (i.e., a topological soliton) to nucleate due to harmonic excitation, causing a phase change within our metamaterial. As each of these phases has its own unique transmission frequency range, such phase change is harnessed to control harmonic waves based on both their amplitude and frequency. As a demonstration of principle, a low/high-pass filter is shown by tuning the same metamaterial to change phase; from transmission to attenuation and vice versa. In addition, phase transitions taking place while preserving the metamaterial's state of attenuation or transmission are shown.

The acquisition of a tumor mesenchymal phenotype through epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with immune evasion and can contribute to immunotherapy resistance. Here, the involvement of STAM Binding Protein Like 1 (STAMBPL1) is reported in the development of mesenchymal and immune evasion phenotypes in KIRC cells. Mechanistically, STAMBPL1 elevated protein abundance and surface accumulation of TAM Receptor AXL through diminishing the TRIM21-mediated K63-linked ubiquitination and subsequent lysosomal degradation of AXL, thereby enhancing the expression of mesenchymal genes while suppressing chemokines CXCL9/10 and HLA/B/C. In addition, STAMBPL1 enhanced PD-L1 transcription via facilitating nuclear translocation of p65, and knockdown (KD) of STAMBPL1 augmented antitumor effects of PD-1 blockade. Furthermore, STAMBPL1 silencing and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sunitinib also exhibited a synergistic effect on the suppression of KIRC.

  @article{ , abstract = {Immunotherapy has significantly improved cancer patient survival, while its efficacy remains limited due to the reliance on a single marker like PD-L1 as well as its spatiotemporal heterogeneity. To address this issue, combining lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) with PD-L1 is proposed for identifying immunotypes and monitoring immunotherapy through nuclear imaging. In short, 99m Tc-HYNIC-αLAG-3 and 99m Tc-HYNIC-αPD-L1 probes are synthesized using anti-human LAG-3 and PD-L1 antibodies, respectively. With high radiochemical purity and in vitro stability, these probes are confirmed to specifically bind to LAG-3 or PD-L1 in LAG3 + A549, LAG3 − A549, and H1975 cells. SPECT/CT imaging of both probes showed specific in vivo tumor uptake in multiple lung cancer models, with significant linear correlation with ex vivo tumor uptake and immunohistochemical expression levels of LAG-3/PD-L1. Based on this, dual-index imaging was performed to simultaneously quantify LAG-3 and PD-L1. SPECT/CT imaging of 99m Tc-HYNIC-αLAG-3 and 125 I-αPD-L1 successfully distinguished four immunotypes. In addition, SPECT/CT imaging revealed LAG-3 upregulation in LLC-bearing LAG-3 humanized mice resistant to immunotherapy.

  @article{ , abstract = {Targeting cellular senescence, one of the hallmarks of aging and aging-related pathologies emerges as an effective strategy for anti-aging and cancer chemotherapy. Here, a switch from TBK1-OPTN axis to TBK1-ATAD3A axis to promote cellular senescence is shown. Mechanically, TBK1 protein is abnormally activated and localized to the mitochondria during senescence, which directly phosphorylates ATAD3A at Ser321. Phosphorylated ATAD3A is significantly elevated in cellular senescence as well as in physiological and pathological aging and is essential for suppressing Pink1-mediated mitophagy by facilitating Pink1 mitochondrial import. Inhibition of ATAD3A phosphorylation at Ser321 by either TBK1 deficiency or by a Ser321A mutation rescues the cellular senescence. A blocking peptide, TAT-PEP, specifically abrogating ATAD3A phosphorylation, results in elevated cell death by preventing doxorubicin-induced senescence, thus leading to enhanced tumor sensitivity to chemotherapy. TAT-PEP treatment also ameliorates various phenotypes associated with physiological aging.

  @article{ , abstract = {Circular RNA (circRNA) plays a pivotal role in regulating neurological damage post-ischemic stroke. Previous researches demonstrated that exercise mitigates neurological dysfunction after ischemic stroke, yet the specific contributions of circRNAs to exercise-induced neuroprotection remain unclear. This study reveals that mmu_circ_0001113 (circFndc3b) is markedly downregulated in the penumbral cortex of a mouse model subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). However, exercise increased circFndc3b expression in microglia/macrophages, alleviating pyroptosis, reducing infarct volume, and enhancing neurological recovery in MCAO mice. Mechanistically, circFndc3b interacted with Enolase 1 (ENO1), facilitating ENO1's binding to the 3' Untranslated Region (3'UTR) of Krüppel-like Factor 2 (Klf2) mRNA, thereby stabilizing Klf2 mRNA and increasing its protein expression, which suppressed NOD-like Receptor Family Pyrin Domain Containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-mediated microglial/macrophage pyroptosis. Additionally, circFndc3b enhanced ENO1's interaction with the 3′UTR of Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) mRNA, leading to increased FUS protein levels and promoting circFndc3b cyclization. These results suggest that circFndc3b mediates exercise-induced anti-pyroptotic effects via the ENO1/Klf2 axis, and a circFndc3b/ENO1/FUS positive feedback loop may potentiate exercise's neuroprotective effects.

  @article{ , abstract = {EED (embryonic ectoderm development) is a core subunit of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which senses the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27). However, its biological function in cerebellar development remains unknown. Here, we show that EED deletion from neural stem cells (NSCs) or cerebellar granule cell progenitors (GCPs) leads to reduced GCPs proliferation, cell death, cerebellar hypoplasia, and motor deficits in mice. Joint profiling of transcripts and ChIP-seq analysis in cerebellar granule cells reveals that EED regulates bunches of genes involved in cerebellar development. EED ablation exhibits overactivation of a developmental repressor long non-coding RNA H19. Importantly, an obvious H3K27ac enrichment is found at Ctcf , a trans-activator of H19, and H3K27me3 enrichment at the H19 imprinting control region (ICR), suggesting that EED regulates H19 in an H3K27me3-dependent manner. Intriguingly, H19 deletion reduces EED expression and the reprogramming of EED-mediated H3K27me3 profiles, resulting in increased proliferation, differentiation, and decreased apoptosis of GCPs. Finally, molecular and genetic evidence provides that increased H19 expression is responsible for cerebellar hypoplasia and motor defects in EED mutant mice.

  @article{ , abstract = {Dynamic pathogen exposure may impact the immunological response to SARS-CoV-2 (SCV2). One potential explanation for the lack of severe SCV2-related morbidity and mortality in Southeast Asia is prior exposure to related betacoronaviruses. Recent discoveries of SCV2-related betacoronaviruses from horseshoe bats ( Rhinolophus sinicus ) in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia suggest the potential for bat-to-human spillover exposures in the region. In this work, serum antibodies to protein constructs from SCV2 and a representative bat coronavirus isolated in Cambodia (RshSTT182) are measured in pre-pandemic Cambodian human sera using ELISA assays. Of 293 Cambodian samples tested ( N = 131 with acute malaria, n = 162 with acute undifferentiated febrile illness), 32 (10.9%) are seropositive for SCV2 based on established Spike and receptor-binding domain (RBD) cutoffs. Within SCV2 seropositive samples, 16 (50%) have higher antibody levels to antigens from the representative virus RshSTT182 versus SCV2 antigens; competitive binding ELISA assays demonstrate inhibition of reactivity to SCV2 Spike after pre-incubation with RshSTT182 Spike. Surrogate virus neutralization tests demonstrate that 8/30 (26.7%) SCV2 ELISA positive pre-pandemic Cambodian samples have neutralizing activity against SCV2, while 14/30 (46.7%) have activity against other SCV2-related betacoronaviruses.
